            – Lean according to R. Wysk Set-up reduction and rapid 
               response production systems
            – Changing in order to change more quickly
        •  Case Study
            – Lean at home in the kitchen
        •  Some models and discussions
            – Learning/forgetting
            – 6 sigma in rapid response systems
                                            
                      Agenda
      • Review brief history of manufacturing systems
      • Distinguish between mass, craft and lean 
        manufacturing
      • Introduce key Concepts of 
        Lean Manufacturing  
      • Review the kinds of changes needed to be 
        considered a lean manufacturer.

                        Objectives
      • To identify waste elements in a system
      • To apply value stream analysis to a 
        complex engineering/manufacturing 
        system
      • To implement 3 M’s in a complex 
        engineering environment
      • To be able to identify and implement the 
        5Ss of lean
                                  
                Craft Manufacturing  
      • Late 1800’s
      • Car built on blocks in the barn as workers walked 
         around the car.
      • Built by craftsmen with pride
      • Components hand-crafted, hand-fitted
      • Good quality
      • Very expensive
      • Few produced
