People
involved in business today are convinced this is a different arena than it
was a decade ago. If you want to succeed at keeping participation in the
market, it is mandatory to be ready to follow the current trend.
Lean
Manufacturing is a set of strategies that brings your business to a
competitive level and higher profits.
You
have heard about Lean Manufacturing and are aware of the way in which your
business should start leaning towards this proven concept.
Some
companies have chosen to wait until their competitors phase in these changes
to see if they should too. The competition has reached such a fast pace that
just a few months later could be a little too late to make the decision to
go Lean.
Going
lean does not mean switching an operation 180º overnight. It can, and
actually should be, done at a rather low pace. All successful
implementations of Lean Manufacturing have taken years. This gradual
implementation takes place through a process of Continuous Improvement
(C.I.). This is a strategy that the Japanese have mastered for some decades
now.
There
is a Japanese word for C.I.: Kaizen.
Most
leading companies have been establishing C.I. or Kaizen managements as a way
to survive the daily growing competition. Some companies had to receive a
very close call from competition before they decided that it was time to
adopt the new ways. Some other companies pretended that there was no need
for C.I. and years later, they simply vanished. That is the case of several
automotive, electronics, photography, optics and even food companies.
The
strategies are really very simple. They are focused on:
·
Lowering inventories
·
Avoiding wastes of resources
·
Improving the value stream
·
Reducing costs in general
·
Increasing the quality of the
process and the product
·
Improving the safety and the
morale of your personnel
·
Increasing the reliability of
your equipment
·
And many other logical issues
Whatever
your industry or field, competition is likely to become fierce in the years
to come if it has not yet started to. If you can acknowledge that fact, you
are probably thinking of becoming Lean. Then the How?, When?, and How much?
can start haunting you.
As
we said before, you can take your time to get there, but it is definitely
important to begin that transition NOW… if not Yesterday!
