Transition-To- Lean Flow Technology Roadmap

The Production Operations Transition-to-Lean Flow Technology Roadmap provides a guide for transitioning an existing traditional operation to one that fully implements a Mixed-Model Lean Manufacturing philosophy called Lean Flow Technology. The Roadmap defines a systematic implementation process, specific actions in order of precedence that are milestones in the journey from mass to Lean Flow Production.
The model is organized into major phases with points of interface defined with other systems that are both internal to production operations and external to the business enterprise.
The roadmap is based upon experience gained to date by Lean experts in implementing Lean Manufacturing philosophy into production operations at various facilities.
The Production Operation Roadmap consists of 8 phases of implementation. Each of the 8 phases of implementation defines a number of specific actions or activities in a recommended order of precedence :
- Phase 1 - Adopt Lean Flow Technology Thinking.
- Phase 2 - Organization & Education.
- Phase 3 - Data Gathering.
- Phase 4 - Application & Line Design.
- Phase 5 - Shop Floor Rearrangement.
- Phase 6 - Improvement.
- Phase 7 - Performance Measures.
- Phase 8 - Perfection.
