There are several ways in which manufacturers are taking sustainability measures. Some are investing in renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, to reduce their carbon footprint. Irrespective of which machines are running, the most important thing is that your bottleneck doesn’t stop,” he noted. “I

Share Adopting lean manufacturing increases focus on equipment changeovers. These are periods when there’s no production and lean often accentuates their impact by increasing their frequency. The benefits are substantial, especially when applied at bottleneck processes. What is SMED in manufacturing?

Share Value stream mapping (VSM) is a core component of lean manufacturing. Developed as part of the Toyota Production System, value stream mapping is the creation of a diagram that shows all the actions required for raw materials to be sourced, processed, assembled and finally shipped to customers.

Defects Preventing data defects starts with treating data like any other critical inputinvestigating recurring defects, defining a single source of truth, and thinking critically about changes to data systems. Building a Lean Digital Thread Avoiding waste in data is just as important as eliminating inefficiencies on the shop floor.
