And Deming says ... without data you are only an opinion and I study the data from
[14]
statistical programs to find problems in the factory ... I apply
[17]
the Lean Six Sigma methodology developed by General Electric and Motorola ...
[21]
I am also certified Read Six Sigma Green Belt by the University of Tokyo and follow the recommendations
[30]
Hmm ... what a mess. Now everyone talks about LEAN, listen to LEAN here, LEAN there.
[35]
But ... what is that of LEAN? What is LEAN MANUFACTURING?
[41]
What is LEAN MANAGEMENT? Is there a single unified vision of what LEAN is? What is the final objective
[47]
and what does LEAN intend? and all those Japanese words that LEAN experts
[51]
use ... Why is LEAN not in Japanese like KAIZEN, KANBAN, GEMBA and
[56]
many other words of Japanese origin? To understand all this mess we have to
[61]
travel back in time and place ourselves in the years before the Second World War,
[64]
on the one hand, see what was happening in Japan and on the other hand, see what was happening
[68]
in the United States.
[70]
In the US of those days mass production was in "top form"
[74]
and while in the US automotive industries "quantity was
[78]
synonymous with quality", in Japan this mass production was in question,
[82]
mainly due to the shortage of raw Materials. In those years, the
[86]
control of raw materials, and especially steel, by the United States
[90]
after the Second World War deepened this difference between the
[93]
management approaches of the Japanese and the American industries.
[97]
In this way ... the Japanese industry valued the inventory as a
[101]
tremendously expensive expense and included it in a category that it determined with the
[105]
Japanese word "MUDA", which in Japanese means: waste, garbage, something
[110]
excess and unnecessary. Thus already in 1936 Kiichiro Toyoda asked
[116]
his engineers that they should design a factory without inventory. Without inventory? ...
[120]
That went against all the postulates present in the industrial world
[123]
of the moment ... However, Kiichiro Toyoda considered inventory as the biggest
[127]
"MUDA" and cause of all the other changes in a factory ... One of these engineers who
[132]
was commissioned by Kiichiro Toyoda was the pioneer of the great changes
[135]
that were coming at Toyota and who joined in 1942 as head of the
[140]
machine shop : This engineer is Taiichi Ohno
[145]
Taiichi Ohno identified the seven changes that Kiichiro Toyoda was talking about:
[149]
Inventory, time, unnecessary inventory movement, waiting between
[155]
processes, overproduction or producing more than necessary, over-processing or
[161]
performing operations without value and defects. The ultimate goal is a
[166]
Just in Time or Just in Time production system.
[171]
Thus, from the 1940s to the early 1970s, while in Japan they fought
[175]
ruthlessly against inventory, through the increase in the level of
[178]
quality in the US they lived the golden years and Larger and heavier
[182]
cars were being made , and mass production by the largest automotive companies
[186]
made them the Big Three:
[188]
General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler. But at the end of the 70s after the
[194]
first oil crisis together with the great triumphs of the
[197]
United States economy ... industries suffered a rise
[200]
in costs and therefore tried to design new savings strategies
[203]
mainly based on offshoring to countries with lower
[206]
labor costs. Small, reliable Japanese and even European cars
[211]
were looked down upon by the world's premier economy buyer. However,
[216]
in the 80s, Japanese manufacturers began to be more competitive and were
[219]
improving their special production system based on scarcity. And finally ... they begin
[224]
to make investments in the US, Canada and Europe in the form of alliances with
[229]
local companies, this was the only way to achieve greater market shares
[233]
in the closed economies of the time. In 1984, Toyota made an alliance with
[239]
General Motors in New United Motor Manufacturing located in California, a
[243]
former General Motors plant closed two years earlier.
[246]
In this way, General Motors wanted to copy and paste the Toyota production
[250]
system and translate it into a factory that they wanted to build as an
[254]
exact mirror in Brazil. So General Motors would take over Toyota's special way of manufacturing ...
[258]
While General Motors rubbed their hands in Toyota they were very calm.
[264]
At the same time, MIT started in 1979
[268]
with the first phase of the program that studied the special competitiveness of
[271]
the Japanese automotive industry under the name of the International Motor
[275]
Vehicle Program and led by James P. Womack.
[279]
The project was funded with $ 5 million at the time by the
[282]
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This first phase concluded in 1991 with
[288]
the publication of the book "The machine that changed the world." In this book,
[292]
the concept LEAN MANUFACTURING arises for the
[296]
first time to refer to the production system of the Japanese Automotive manufacturers. In this
[300]
Toyota deployment at NUMMI, Master Koichi Kimura was fortunate to participate,
[304]
intervening in various developments in California and Mexico. And being permanently
[309]
accompanied by a General Motors engineer for his teaching and
[312]
learning. However, despite the initial success at NIMMI, as the plant
[316]
with the highest quality levels in the group, General Motors has still not managed to
[320]
implement this production system in the rest of the plants, And although some of the
[324]
engineers trained at NUMMI had some success in The introduction of the
[327]
approach in its factories in Brazil, this success was quickly diluted and ended
[331]
with the rescue of General Motors after its bankruptcy in 2009.
[335]
This alliance was also produced in Australia under the name UAAI,
[339]
closed in 1996 and in Canada under the CAMI name
[344]
between General Motors and Suzuki, which since 2009 belongs
[349]
exclusively to General Motors. So ... you can't just copy and paste like
[354]
General Motors intended? Well, it turns out not ... Toyota's production system
[359]
does not work as General Motors believed, well ... actually no
[363]
total production system or TPS, as the Japanese call it in their
[367]
own environment, because they do not use the word LEAN. Shortly after concluding
[372]
the IMVP study at MIT, James P. Womack and some colleagues founded the
[376]
LEAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE, which was dedicated to disseminating and
[380]
helping to spread the LEANMANUFACTURING special they had studied. Now ... to
[385]
resolve the failure of the short-term problem that General Motors tried, the people of MIT
[388]
adapted the Toyota production system to the rational culture of the United States, without a doubt
[394]
a good idea based on the short-termism that prevailed in the 80 and
[396]
the 90s in the US at the time ... let's remember that it was the time of
[401]
"Los Yuppies", let's see an example: The Value Stream Map tool
[405]
with the acronym VSM or Analysis of the Value Chain (in Spanish)
[409]
is a tool designed by MIT but it is non-existent in the Toyota Production System
[413]
and similar ones such as Sumitomo, Denso, Honda, etc.
[419]
Is it necessary then? Actually the Toyota Production System and
[423]
Womack's Lean Manufacturing or Lean Management are different. Even the 80s
[428]
General Electric and Motorola delve into statistical quality control
[432]
developing techniques called 6 Sigma, the union of what the Lean
[437]
Enterprise Institute and MIT called LEAN and the statistical
[441]
quality control of General Electric and Motorola created what now called "LEAN SIX SIGMA".
[445]
In other words ... apply the postulates of LEAN and MIT to solve the
[450]
deviations detected by a statistical quality control.
[453]
From this development come the certifications called "Belts"
[457]
Green Belt, Black Belt and Master Black Belt. In these certifications a lot of statistics and little LEAN
[463]
is taught . But these certifications have been
[467]
tailored to different curricula with little or no commonality.
[472]
What a mess right? Now the LEAN MANUFACTURING that MIT studied and
[476]
adapted to the US culture based on incomplete studies of Toyota's production
[480]
system , has been expanded with the statistical process
[484]
control of the 6 Sigma methodology. These methodologies can help to
[488]
achieve higher quality, but unfortunately they do not do so in the
[492]
direction of the Japanese companies that they intend to emulate. These companies
[496]
do not consider LEAN as a method, and statistical quality control as
[500]
necessary tools. These excellent and successful Japanese companies rely
[505]
on KAIZEN or Continuous Improvement for total quality. However ...
[510]
The lack of a clearly defined knowledge structure and the
[513]
short-term orientation of what is known as LEAN SIX SIGMA is an
[516]
obstacle to achieving KAIZEN and full participation
[520]
and we finally reached the year 2011, when Sensei Koichi Kimura begins to give
[525]
us his research on the Total Productive System, which makes
[529]
these Japanese corporations excellent and within them he learned
[533]
directly from the pioneers. In his written teachings, Sensei
[538]
Koichi Kimura provides us with the correct way to achieve the levels of
[541]
quality and productivity of the Japanese industry without filters or deformations.This
[545]
new knowledge created during the last 60 years in Japan has been
[550]
structured in an unprecedented way thanks to his experience
[553]
as an internal and external consultant in more than 11 different countries. This exchange
[558]
of cultures made it easier for him to identify and structure organizational concepts that
[562]
these Japanese companies used in their internal systems. Thus, Sensei
[566]
Koichi Kimura defines and structures many concepts: such
[569]
as the Pyramid of the Total Productive System, the Factory Management Framework and
[574]
has been able to define the same concept of Excellence, in
[578]
addition to many other systems and structures, truly deepening
[583]
the systems of the Excellent Japanese companies. Thus and after much studying,
[587]
transmitting and structuring the teachings of Sensei Koichi Kimura is how we created
[591]
the Factory Management Institute and its training structure and
[595]
certifications at an international level with recognition
[598]
of university credits ... We set the bar very high!
[602]
This is the recognition scale that we are developing at the
[605]
Factory Management Institute and for the development and adaptation of all the
[608]
knowledge of the different degrees and implementation manuals, we have
[612]
developed a free certification path for all those who
[615]
wish to obtain the sensei qualification and that they collaborate in the adaptation
[619]
of their teachings towards the creation of systems and practical manuals, books,
[623]
online courses, implementation routes, etc.
