Download or read book Lean Strategies for Future Body Shop Development and Operation in the Automotive Industry written by Iker Marcaide and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are several body shops which are similar by size of workforce, level of utilization and product complexity but which differ considerably by investment required, shop size, uptime, inventory levels and quality accomplished. The purpose of this thesis is to explain why those differences exist. The methods used to understand differences were direct observation, first hand working experience on the line and participation in workshops, analysis of internal and external bibliography, and interviews to line workers, supervisors and managers within different functions. Differences are observed and described in the design and operation of the shops. A "Lean" body shop, named in such a way given their reduced use of resources to accomplish better results, follow an integrated design process where product and process are tightly integrated, maintain similar product architectures across generations enhancing standardization and modularity, similar shop architectures across plants, close relationships with suppliers, elimination of complexity in manufacturing processes, flexible conveyance processes and the use of proven technologies. In addition, a lean body shop's operation works as a coherent and integrated set of practices under three systems: The Social System: Engagement and development of workforce that acts as enabler; The Technical System: Tools to reduce waste and increase quality; The Problem Solving & Continues Improvement System: An ever learning and improving organization where problems are visualized, solved and countermeasures implemented and shared. Finally, this thesis provides insights into the change management processes associated with the transformation into lean body shops, from establishing a sense of urgency and guiding coalition to empowering broad based action employee action and anchoring new approaches in the culture, and performs a case analysis on a successful lean transformation: NUMMI.

Download or read book Improve written by George Ellis and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2020-06-27 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improve: The Next Generation of Continuous Improvement for Knowledge Work presents lean thinking for professionals, those who Peter Drucker called knowledge workers. It translates the brilliant insights from Toyota's factory floor to the desktops of engineers, marketers, attorneys, accountants, doctors, managers, and all those who "think for a living." The Toyota Production System (TPS) was born a century ago to an almost unknown car maker who today is credited with starting the third wave of the Industrial Revolution. TPS principles, better known as lean thinking or continuous improvement, are simple: increase customer value, cut hidden waste, experiment to learn, and respect others. As simple as they are, they are difficult to apply to the professions, probably because of the misconception that knowledge work is wholly non-repetitive. But much of our everyday work does repeat, and in great volume: approvals, problem-solving, project management, hiring, and prioritization are places where huge waste hides. Eliminate waste and you delight customers and clients, increase financial performance, and grow professional job satisfaction, because less waste means more success and more time for expertise and creativity. This book is a valuable resource for leaders of professional teams who want to improve productivity, quality, and engagement in their organizations. Experience the proven benefits of continuous improvement 40%-70% increase in productivity from professionals and experts li”85% projects on-time/liliReduce lead time by 50%-90%/liliEngagement up and voluntary severance cut 50% Dozens of simple visual tools that anyone can implement immediately in their existing framework All tools and techniques applicable to both face-to-face and virtual meetings Easy-to-understand approach: "simplify, engage, experiment” Presented with deep respect for the experts; no "check the box” thinking or overused analogies to the factory floor
