>Do you ever see the following phenomena at your manufacturing sites?
・There are many WIPs between manufacturing processes.
・A lot of MUDA is found in transportation.
・Poor coordination is found between processes.
・Employees push WIPs to the next processes after doing their jobs in their own ways.
・The storage is full of obscure products.
・Production lead time is too long.
・Information on manufacturing is delivered too slowly.
・Too large inventory is stored due to long lead time.
・Production does not progress in line with the plan
It is necessary to drastically change the conventional sense of value in manufacturing!
Pursue total optimal performance, not the individual optimal performance.
