Lean also takes into account waste created through overburden (\"Muri\") and waste created through unevenness in workload (\"Mura\") . Working from the perspective of the client who consumes a product or service, \"value\" is any action or process that a customer would be willing to pay for.  \nCase Study See Attachment for examples of all following tools  \nObjective  \nOutcomes Expected To improve the Quality/Cost/Responsiveness outcomes of a business with the customer at the centre  \nWhy Used Every business can benefit from analysis and improvement of its processes. This is a journey of continual  \nimprovement employing a structured, well proven, approach  \nScope  \nWhere Used This tool can be used in any business that has complex processes to meet its customer requirements  \nHow Used As a methodology it is best introduced as a \"pilot\" project to demonstrate and showcase the benefits to a  \ngenerally sceptical wider business audience.  \nDeployment  \nTool Training The most successful approach for deploying lean within a business is to identify a \"pilot\" project within the  \nbusiness that is struggling with Q/C/D issues. Appoint a small cross-functional team to lead the improvement pilot, train the basic techniques of lean in a classroom environment,  \nGeneric Tasks 1. Identify Pilot Project  \n2. Select Cross-functional Team  \n3. Set project contract with team & team leader  \n4. Team leader train team and engage with pilot simultaneously  \n5. Complete pilot, publish results, share outcome with wider business  \nLean Manufacturing-Value Stream Mapping  \nDescription  \nWhat it is Understanding process and information flow is key to understanding how to make business improvements. This  \nflow-called the “Value Stream”, can be mapped and is a lean-management method for analysing a current business state and used to design a future, improved state for the series of steps that take a product or service from origination to the end user. At Toyota, it is known as \"material and information flow mapping\" .  \nCase Study  \nObjective  \nOutcomes Expected Detailed process steps of the entire business process being examined – this will include  \nInputs/Outputs/Methods  \nWhy Used To understand the detailed workings of the business process in order to apply appropriate business  \nimprovement techniques, reducing or eliminating non-value added steps and improving process capability  \nScope  \nWhere Used In any business process that needs to be improved  \nHow Used Improvement team, suitably trained and resourced, following the process flow, capturing information – process  \nsteps/inputs/outputs/real data  \nDeployment  \nTool Training Formal classroom training & practical projects  \nGeneric Tasks 1. Define and pick the product or service to be evaluated  \n2. Create the Current State Value Stream Map (CSVSM)  \n3. Develop the Future State Value Stream Map (FSVSM)  \n4. Develop an Action Plan to achieve the FSVSM  \nLean Manufacturing-Problem Identification & Resolution  \nDescription  \nWhat it is Structured approach to problem solving-data driven, relevant team involvement. Stages:  \n1. DETECTION of the Problem 2. PROTECT the Customer 3. DEFINITION of the Problem 4. ANALYSIS of the Root Cause 5. IMPLEMENTATION of Countermeasure  \nCase Study  \nObjective  \nOutcomes Expected Structured approach to problem solving – clear understanding of root causes/data driven and solution  \nidentified  \nWhy Used To provide a clear brief for process improvement, to respond to a detected problem where the root cause is  \nunknown and process for improvement is not agreed or clear  \nScope  \nWhere Used Where no obvious or agreed root cause exists to a problem but the symptoms of the problem are evident e.g.  \nQuality, Cost or Responsiveness issues exist.  \nHow Used Improvement team, suitably tr","cbCaisgMd2cZ1s8x","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisgMd2cZ1s8x","pdf",1856344,"English","# Lean Manufacturing Techniques\n## Objective and Expected Outcomes\n## Deployment and Tool Training\n## Generic Tasks\n# Lean Manufacturing - Value Stream Mapping\n## Objective and Expected Outcomes\n## Why Used and Scope\n## How Used and Deployment\n# Lean Manufacturing - Problem Identification & Resolution\n## Stages of Problem Solving\n## Objective and Expected Outcomes\n## Deployment\n# Lean Manufacturing - Lean Foundations - 5S/SOP/VM\n## Objective and Expected Outcomes\n## Why Used and Scope\n## How Used and Deployment\n# Lean Manufacturing - Pull Systems\n## Description and Core Principle","[{\"question\":\"What does Lean Manufacturing focus on to improve processes?\",\"answer\":\"Lean Manufacturing focuses on systematic waste minimization without sacrificing productivity, defining value as actions a customer is willing to pay for.
