Problem Solving Using the Why Tree by xtremelean.us
* This presentation is on problem solving using the why tree and is designed to teach a standardized approach for your people at all levels of the organization. Good problem solving skills within your company will cause your business to thrive while making everyone's life easier in the process.
* While problem solving does not have to be difficult, there are many that like to make it sound that way.
* People are not born as natural problem solvers and you don't need a college degree to learn to be a good problem solver either.
* Good problem solving skills can be taught and that is what I am going to do. My goal is to teach you a simple standardized approach that can be used in your business or personal life. You can also use this training video to teach others at your business. When completed, you will fully understand and be ready to use the concepts taught here.
* When we become good at problem solving, we start eliminating the problems that cause our head to spin once and for all. Our life becomes much easier and we suddenly have more time and less frustration. You are probably watching this video because that is exactly the direction you want to go in your life.
* Let's first discuss what a problem is or is not.
* A problem is the difference between actual conditions and the desired conditions and you don't know how to solve it.
* Let's put this in simpler terms.
* Let's change desired condition with "Want" and change actual condition with "Have"
* So the difference between what we have and what we want is the problem.
* And it's only a problem if you don't already know what the solution is.
* Let me give you a simple illustration of what a problem is. Barney here wants a female companion, but he does not have one, and he doesn't know exactly what to do about it. That is Barneys problem. That seems pretty straightforward doesn't it?
* The biggest type of problem people face is when something suddenly goes wrong.
* Captain Jack here is flying 300 passengers across the continent when all of a sudden, the plane starts to go down.
* In this case, the pilot WANTS to have full control of the plane again.
* But what he has is a plane that is going down and he doesn't know what happened or what to do about it.
* Does the pilot have a problem? 100% affirmative.
* Everyone has problems in their life at one time or another, so we all have the responsibility and opportunity to solve problems many times in our lives. It is absolutely best when we solve a problem so it never ever returns again. When you solve problems this way, your life becomes easier.
* When it comes to problem solving, some people just start shooting from the hip. This can be a very costly, time consuming, and frustrating approach. Preferable to this would be to take some aim at our target. After all, if we take the time to aim carefully at our target we increase the chance of hitting the bulls eye.
* Let's use a hypothetical problem that everyone can relate to. You arrived to work late.
* By the way, always clearly define the problem in as few words as possible, while also making sure everyone can understand what the problem is.
* And the reason we arrived to work late is because our car would not start.
* Many people put a lot of emphasis on root cause analysis, which is finding out what exactly what caused the car not to start.
* This is a fish bone diagram which is another tool that can be used for determining the root cause of a problem.
* And while sometimes finding the root cause is important, finding the best solution that will prevent the problem from reoccurring is THE most important objective.
* In this case, let's say you were at the end of your ropes with this piece of junk anyway and had decided you were going to buy a new car.
* Do you really care what exactly caused your old car not to start? Not really.
* Will the new car be a proper solution to your problem and get you to work reliably for many years to come? Absolutely
* My point is, solutions are more important than causes and in my opinion, outweigh them greatly.
* All right, let's do a reality check. You have a crap car, you were late to work because it would not start, and you have no money to buy a new car.
* You now need to know what caused your car not to start so you will not be able to fix it.
* The Why Tree method is the focus of this presentation, but it relies on knowing the 5-Why root cause analysis method. The 5-Why method for determining root cause is one of the simplest methods to learn and to complete. You start with a clear problem statement, then ask why the problem happened and write the answer down. If that answer did not identify the root cause, continue asking why until it does.
* Let's go through an example.
* For example our problem is we woke up late.
* We would then ask "why did we wake up late?"
* The alarm did not go off.
* "why did the alarm not go off?"
* Because the time reset on the alarm clock?
* Why did the time reset on the alarm clock?
* Because the power went out.
* Why did the power go out?
* Because of the severe thunderstorms.
* Why were there severe thunderstorms?
* We don't know.
* Notice that solutions are out of our control when the power went out? We do not have control over the power or the weather. So the line of questioning should stop when we do not have any control over the cause.
* One of the problems with the 5-Why root cause analysis is it only allows for one line of questioning. Based on the answers you give, you can get off the trail to solutions very quickly.
* Let's back up and change the answer to "why did the time reset on the clock?" to:
* Because the clock lost power
* Then why did the clock lose power?
* Because the alarm clock did not have the backup battery installed.
* Why was the backup battery not installed?
* Because we did not have one at the time.
* Take notice that the answers you give will dramatically change the outcome. You must also ensure the answers are accurate or once again you will be on a wild goose chase.
* We now have a root cause that we have control over and an easy solution to the problem. Having a backup battery installed in the alarm clock allows it to continue working in the event of a power outage. This solution is very simple and effective with a very low cost. It is easy to implement and has no negative consequences.
* While you now have a good solution to this problem, let's not forget that batteries do not last forever. You will need to check the batteries in the alarm clock on a regular basis if your want to eliminate this particular problem forever.
* Even though this approach is called 5-Why, 5 is just a rule of thumb for the number of times to ask why. It could be more or less though depending on the problem. When you no longer know the answer to the question that is a good place to stop. Speculation will rarely serve you well.
* While the 5-Why root cause analysis is a good and simple tool, I find the Why Tree diagram is a much better tool for brainstorming multiple possible causes of the problem. Discovering multiple causes of the problem allows you to develop multiple potential solutions to the problem. You would use the same 5-why approach but the tree diagram allows you to list multiple potential causes to each why. There is no limit to the size or shape of your Why Tree. Let me share an example of using the Why Tree.
* Let's use a real life problem I experienced recently. We put in a new lawn at our house and it wasn't very long before I noticed the grass was dying is some areas. I was upset and wanted to know why and the solution to the problem.
* It did not take long to put two and two together. The dog peeing on the lawn was causing it to die. The reason I want to share this example with you is to show you there are almost always several solutions to any given problem.
* While you may have multiple solutions for any given problem, and even though all of the solutions may solve the problem, there are costs or consequences to consider. Your job in good problem solving is to come up with:
A: The simplest
B: Most effective solution
C: At the lowest cost
D: That is the easiest to implement
E: With no negative consequences.
* The description of my problem is very simple "my grass is dying in small sections". So the 1st question why is the grass dying? Because the dog is peeing on the grass, why is the dog peeing on the grass? Because he is not trained to go elsewhere.
* I must confess, when I first saw that the dog peeing on the grass was causing it to die, I jumped to my first solution and that was a well planned hunting accident where the dog had more to worry about than the bird.
* But that solution would end up in divorce court. Although this solution would be simple, 100% effective, relatively low cost, and easy to implement, the consequences of this solution would make it a very poor choice.
* Then I thought how can I train the dog to stay off the nice new lawn?
* Someone suggested setting up an electric fence and I thought that would be a perfect solution. So off to the pet store I went only to discover these fences aren't cheap. Although this solution would be very effective and there were no negative consequences I could foresee, the cost was high and not simple to install or implement. Still the best solution I have found up to this point.
* I realized I needed to dig deeper to find more causes and therefore more solutions so I asked myself again, "why is the grass dying?"
* Because of the dog pee. I don't have any control over the natural functions of the dog so there is no solution there.
* Why is the dog pee causing the grass to die?
* I had to do some research on the internet, but quickly found my answer. Because dog pee has high levels of Nitrogen.
* Why are there high levels of Nitrogen in the dog pee?
* I also found the answers on the internet that it could be related to their diet
* Or they are not drinking enough water.
* I investigated changing the diet for my dog and found that over the lifetime of the dog, you will probably spend more than the electric fence. I also found out there are health risks for the dog with this diet. I found this solution to be simple, but the effectiveness in my mind was questionable. The cost was again high and the negative consequences of the health of the dog were not exciting. Bordering again on the divorce court thing.
* The dog not drinking enough water was another cause looking for a solution.
* I also thought I could probably teach my dog to read before I could get her to drink more water. So while this solution may be effective at a low cost with no negative consequences, I did not feel this would be simple or easy to implement at all.
* We might not be able to get the dog to drink more water which would dilute the Nitrogen, but maybe we can dilute the Nitrogen another way. What if we adjusted the sprinklers to come on more frequently in the area the dog goes potty? Here is an extremely simple and easy to implement solution that should be totally effective with no cost or negative consequences. Guess what solution I chose to solve my problem?
* There is a simple way to cross check the solution you have chosen. Just read your Why Tree in reverse order and substitute the question why with the word because. Let's try this.
* We are going to adjust the sprinklers to come on more frequently because we need to dilute the high levels of Nitrogen because of the dog pee, because the dog pee is killing the grass. Make sure when you do the cross check that your solution makes sense all the way down the line.
* Root cause analysis is definitely a team effort. After all, two heads are better than one. Choose your team members wisely and keep the team size to a manageable group however.
* Don't worry about the repeatability of this problem solving process. In my mind, problem solving is a very creative process.
* If you give the same problem to three different teams, depending on the creativity of each team, you will most likely end up with three different solutions to the problem. This is absolutely normal. Just be creative and focus on the best solution to the problem you face and implement it.
* If this process does not give you a solution that is clearly correct, you may need to use a different problem solving tool.
* In the future, I will be posting videos on all of the problem solving tools including, Pareto charts, flow charts, fishbone diagrams, brainstorming tools, mind maps, failure mode and effects analysis, and TRIZ. So stay tuned.
This is the end of the presentation, but the beginning of your journey towards realizing the benefits of good problem solving at your own company. We have many years experience in the tools of Six Sigma with problem solving skills at the forefront. Let us know how we can help you.

* 5S is an integral part of Lean and Set-in-Order is the second stage of 5S. Set-in-Order is probably one of the most difficult steps in the 5S process, but there are also more tangible benefits from implementing Set-in-order.
* If you have not already done so, you might want to first watch our 5S Overview and Sort videos.
* In review, the 5 S's are Sort, Set-In-Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain in that order. We will now focus on Set-in-Order for the remainder of this presentation.
* Set-in-Order means arranging all of the items you have determined are necessary for production so they are easy to find, easy to use and easy to put away when finished. This includes determining the best locations for machines and equipment. Locations should be created for each item and clearly labeled. This reminds us of an old adage, "a place for everything, and everything in it's place".
* Before you even begin Set-in-Order ensure that the Sort phase is completely finished. After all, why would you want to spend time creating locations for items you don't even need?
* You already know a little bit about this phase of 5S, because we all practice Set-in-Order in areas that are important to us. For example:
A: When it's time to eat, do we have to search for silverware, or do we have it perfectly organized and ready right where we need it?
B: For you golf enthusiasts, the golf bag and cart are a perfect example of set-in-order. The clubs all have their own specific location, the cart holds the bag at just the right angle to allow the clubs to be easily retrieved and put away again. And there are special pockets for balls, tees, and every other accessory needed.
C: Fishermen are the same way. When it comes time to find that special lure or any other piece of fishing equipment they have got it going on.
D: Is hunting your sport? I'll bet you have a special cabinet at home where you carefully store all of your guns, ammunition, and other accessories where you can easily find them.
E: And...well, you get the picture. If it's important to us, we practice set-in-order.
* If we can make our workplace as important to us as our favorite sport or hobby, and practice set-in-order, we would enjoy our jobs much more than we do now.
* 5S is also referred to as a visual workplace. Set-in-Order is the method we use to create a visual workplace. We want everything to be organized so we can know the status of everything at a glance.
* In this example you can clearly see one tool is missing and by the red shape, you can tell even from a great distance away, it is the hammer that is missing.
* In this example you can see that all of the brake form tooling is well organized, labeled, and color coded. It is very easy to find the tools you need and put them back in the correct place afterwards.
* Our inventory needs to be organized so we can learn at a glance the status of it. The clear Plexiglass in this example allows us to review all inventory levels at once.
* Here is a great example of setting up your inventory so you know exactly when you need to replenish it.
* Another example of setting up a Kanban area where again at a glance you know the status.
* You also want to create a workplace where the flow of work is obvious to anyone.
* With visual instructions on how the work is to be performed
* Kanban boards are an excellent visual tool.
* Set-in-Order applies to safety equipment also. You want fire extinguishers to be visible so anyone can locate it in case of emergency.
* You also want to make first aid kits visible and easily accessible in case of an emergency.
* Let's look at some storage options to consider, for example:
A: Some items can only be stored on the floor such as large machines or other large items.
B: Some equipment can be made portable, which is ideal for flexible manufacturing
C: Racks and Shelving can increase your storage capacity in a small amount of floor space
D: And carts on wheels can be very helpful
E: Flow racks can be used for work in process
F: Storage bins are easy to identify and great organizers and space savers
G: Cabinets
H: Shadow Boards
I: And also tools that hang from the ceiling
* When it comes to implementing Set-In-Order, it's just like real estate. It's all about location, location, location. Let's talk about how to decide appropriate locations for items.
* First let's create a spaghetti diagram to determine where the operators have to travel to get the items they need for production. This is easily done by observing and tracking the operators as they go about their normal production.
* Here is an example of what a completed Spaghetti diagram looks like. Use this diagram to improve the layout of needed items by identifying and eliminating any excess motion. By locating parts, equipment, machinery, and tools in the best locations possible, we can minimize motion waste. Keep in mind that locating machines close together may give you the opportunity to have one person operate more than one machine as shown in this example. A proper layout improves flow and requires less people for production, which improves productivity dramatically.
* Locate items based on the frequency of their use. The more an item is used, the closer it should be to the actual point of use. This shadow board mounted on the outside of this CNC machine could not be better positioned. This Brake Form machine has all of the necessary tools for set-up stored close by for easy access. Here is an example of a machine that needs to be adjusted on a daily basis. In this case it would be wise to store this wrench as close to the actual point of use as possible, even if it means having to buy an extra wrench to do so. Do not store items in a manner that would cause unsafe conditions however.
* If items are used together they should be stored together. For example, this drill, drill chuck, and drill bits are all used together, so they should all be stored and organized in the same place. This helps eliminate searching waste.
* Be creative when implementing set-in-order. Set-in order is only limited by your imagination. This safety barrier for the Timesaver Deburring machine doubles as a storage location for the sanding belts that are needed for that same machine.
* If applicable, develop tools that retract to a home position so that you will always know where it is. Here is an example of a drill that when you let it go of it, it moves up and out of the way. Here is an example of a hose reel that takes care of storing that needed item.
* When it comes to the tools that you use, you are in complete control. Here are some different tool options to consider:
A: Develop tools that serve multiple functions. This means less tools to store and create locations for.
B: Think about using a substitute for the tool; the need for this wrench for example can be eliminated...
C: With a nut like one of these that can be turned by hand.
D: Also think about eliminating tools and speeding up the process significantly by substituting a different method. For instance, automatic clamping can be used instead of nuts and bolts saving a great deal of manual labor.
* Creating locations for items will limit how many items can be stored in the area and when done properly will give good visual control on inventory levels as shown in this example. This makes it impossible to store more items than are necessary in a given area.
* Outlining is used on floors to show the location of a particular item and also to limit the amount of inventory that can be placed there. Each storage area should be clearly labeled. Outlining is also used to clearly show aisle ways, electrical panels, and locations of potential safety hazards.
* It's a good idea to develop a color code strategy for marking your floors and then standardize it. Color coding your tooling also has some great potential. This example shows how the tooling is color coded by the radius size of the tooling.
* Tool boards also have great potential for a visual workplace. You can outline the tools and label them so they are easy to find and put away. You can also see if a tool is missing from 20 feet away. Just keep in mind that shadow boards may not always place the tools as close to the point of use as possible based on the frequency of their use.
* Where storage locations might change slightly, consider portable labels. For example, magnetic labels work extremely well on metal racking, drawers and metal storage racks.
* It would be very difficult to find the item you need and put it away again in this tool cabinet without proper labeling, and even with proper labeling, there is absolutely no visual control at all. Here is a great example of tool organization and labeling. The use of Plexiglass keeps the tools clean and it makes the tool storage very visual. Setting the shelves at an angle also makes the tools even more visual.
* Set in Order eliminates many kinds of waste as follows:
A: The waste of searching is eliminated by locating items where they are easy to find and put away again.
B: Motion waste is eliminated when we eliminate the waste of searching. Motion waste is also reduced when we place tools at the point of use and change the layout of equipment and machines to create flow.
C: The waste of human energy and frustration is eliminated when items are easy to find and we have a less stressful environment to work in.
D: The waste of excess inventory is eliminated by creating specific locations for your inventory with only enough space for the items we need.
E: The waste due to difficulty in returning items is eliminated when we make it clear where items belong and it becomes easy for anyone to return items.
F: The waste of unsafe conditions is eliminated when aisle ways are clearly marked
G: Along with fire extinguishers, first aid kits and other safety items being clearly marked.
H: This results in decreased medical and insurance costs
I: The waste of defective products decreases as our work areas are organized and efficient.
J: Productivity increases when machines are moved to create flow and all of the above wastes are eliminated
K: Employee satisfaction increases as it becomes faster and easier to do their job.
L: And last, bottom line profitability increases from all of these efforts.
* Set-in-Order is probably one of the most difficult steps to implement on the shop floor. It requires a tremendous amount of time, a lot of planning and hard work, top management support, lots of teamwork and plenty of creativity.
Most companies fail to implement set-in-order properly because it is so all encompassing, so if you need help with 5S training and/or implementation, give us a call today, and don't forget to check out the other videos in the 5S Series.
We're the guys who make this process simple!

* 5S is an integral part of Lean Manufacturing since it focuses heavily on the elimination of waste. Shine is the housekeeping portion of 5S and this video will teach you how to implement Shine at your company so you may realize all of the benefits 5S has to offer.
* In review, the 5 S's are Sort, Set-In-Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain in that order. We will now focus on Shine for the remainder of this presentation.
* By implementing 5S Shine you can turn a terrible workplace where no one wants to work, into an enjoyable workplace where people are happy to come to work each day. Before Shine, our workplace can look dirty and dingy. But our workplace improves gradually as we sweep the floors, mop the floors, and even polish the floors until they shine. We also clean the surfaces of everything including machines, tables and cabinets. Remove dust from every surface and clean the windows and skylights so they will let in natural light. Cleaning the windows, skylights, walls, and other surfaces makes the environment brighter and easier to detect quality defects that might otherwise have gone undetected.
* And last, cleaning the machines is a big part of Shine because as we clean the machines, we will be able to easily inspect them. Cleaning and maintaining the machines is one of the most tangible benefits of shine. Here is an excellent example of a filthy machine before Shine. If this machine had any oil leaks, you would never be able to find them in this condition.
* After Shine this machine looks brand new. Any oil leak would stick out like a sore thumb and that is exactly what you want. While we clean the machines in our area, we must inspect them closely so we can take greater care of them. We can ensure that:
A: There are no loose nuts or bolts
B: Make sure gauges are legible, working properly, and within the acceptable range specified
C: Check the condition of the motor
D: Feel for any heat that might be excessive
E: Check all of the fan belts or other belts for proper tension and excess wear
F: Feel the equipment for excess vibration
G: Smell for anything out of the ordinary especially something burning.
H: Listen for any sounds that are not normal to the operation of the equipment.
I: And look for water, oil, hydraulic, or air leaks.
* When we clean the machines we will uncover various leaks that had previously gone undetected. Any liquids leaking on the floor can cause people to slip and injure themselves. And leaks can also cause people to get shocked. Machines that leak oil make a mess of the machine itself and the surrounding area.
* Oil leaks can also cause machines to overheat and wear out quickly because of the lack of oil. Oil leaks also cause people to have to replace the oil frequently and don't forget about the cost of the oil itself.
* If you find your equipment needs to be repaired, every company has a different set of rules to follow, but as a guideline, you want to do it yourself immediately if you are fully capable of doing so. But if the problem is beyond your capabilities, call in a professional. Poorly maintained machines will break down more often and at the worst times.
* When machines are not running productivity automatically goes down. And that causes the boss to get upset, not to mention how the customer is going to feel when they find out their delivery is going to be late because your machine is not running.
* Shine can help eliminate another problem and that is FOD or foreign object damage.
* For example: metal shavings left on workbenches or other surfaces can damage your products. This shipping container used for transporting product is filled with debris and metal shavings that will damage the product when placed inside and transported. Foreign object damage can cause costly rework or scrap. Nobody really likes to clean without being told, so there are some key steps to make Shine work for you. First, you need to make a list of the items to be cleaned in the area. And determine the method of cleaning and add that to the list you just created. For example, mop with soap and water, or use spray cleaner brand X, etc.
* You then need to make assignments for cleaning and make it very visual as to who is responsible for cleaning what and when as in this assignment board showing pictures of the responsible individuals.
* When you organize your cleaning supplies, use the Set-in-Order phase of 5S. This way everyone will know where the cleaning supplies are and where to put them when they are done. Make sure that any chemicals or cleaners used are clearly labeled.
* And finally, it's time to start shining. Once you implement Shine, you will realize the following benefits:
Morale improves as employees are happy to work in clean work environment.
Quality improves as defective products are easier to catch in a clean bright environment.
Your workplace will be much safer meaning less accidents, fewer injuries, and lower medical costs. Insurance costs are also reduced.
* Cleaning and inspecting the equipment means more reliable equipment which results in:
Less production downtime
And that means Higher machine uptimes
More on time deliveries, and higher productivity
* Customers and potential customers can't help but notice what a great workplace you have. And best of all, these improvements equate to more money added to the bottom line.
The road to Lean is paved with 5S. So if your company wants to become Lean, this is a great place to start your journey. Shine is not easy, and neither is implementing any aspect of 5S, so if you need help training employees or implementation give us a call today. We're the guys who make this process simple!

5S sort
* 5S is an integral part of Lean Manufacturing. This presentation will focus on sort which is first S in the 5S process.
* It might be helpful to first watch our 5S Overview Video if you have not seen it previously.
* In review, the 5S's are sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain in that order. Let's focus on sort for the remainder of this presentation.
* Everyone can relate to a messy garage and that can be compared to our workplace. We gather too many things over time and pretty soon we can barely walk around. If you had to work in this environment, think about:
A: How much time would you spend looking for the things you need?
B: How efficient you would be, or in other words, how long it would take to complete a project?
C: How safe of an environment is it?
D: And how frustrating might the experience be?
* Many companies tolerate these conditions in the workplace because they do not understand the extent of the waste and the consequences involved.
* In order to clear the area you have to define what is needed in the immediate area. When you do this, consider:
A: Cabinets
B: Paperwork
C: Gauges
D: Machines and equipment
E: Packaging Materials
F: Parts and assemblies
G: Blueprints
H: Shelving
I: Supplies
J: Tables
K: Tooling
L: Towels
M: And even trash
* Let's create a department we can use as an example that needs to be sorted out. In this department, we have:
A: Machines
B: Workbenches
C: Tool Boxes
D: Supply Cabinets
E: Work in Process
F: Chairs
G: Trashcans
H: Tools
I: Paperwork
J: And Pallets
K: This example is fairly typical for a department in a manufacturing company.
* Now it's time for that first big step. Figuring out what stays and what goes. Don't go it alone. sorting is a team sport, and if second or third shifts are involved, make sure you include them in sorting and every aspect of 5S. There are some territorial issues involved with all aspects of 5S, so it is best to work together as a Team.
* Here are some guidelines for making good decisions:
A: The 48 hour rule says that if you are going to use it for production within 48 hours it belongs in the area.
B: The concept of sort is similar to the Just-In-Time principle as they both teach only what is needed, only in the amounts needed and only when it is needed
* Another guideline is based on frequency of use. The less frequently an item is used, the farther from the work area it should be stored, for example:
A: Items that are used daily should be stored in the immediate area
B: Items that are used weekly should be stored near the area
C: Items that are used monthly or less frequently should be stored in a remote location.
* Make a list of everything in the area and the frequency of use such as daily, weekly, or monthly. Make sure this is a team effort.
* Then disposition the items on the list as follows:
A: Item to stay in the area
B: Item to be stored near the area
C: Item to be stored in a remote location
D: Item no longer needed
* When items have been dispositioned as no longer needed, a red tag system is used for several reasons:
A: To identify the item
B: Where the item came from
C: Who created the red tag
D: And the date the tag was created
* If the disposition is the item is no longer needed, you might want to consider:
A: Placing the items in a red tag hold area for six months before taking any further action
B: Hold an auction with the key people at your company to see if any other department needs the item
C: After that either sell it
D: Give it away to charity
E: Or put it in the trash
* Now that dispositions have been made, it's time to start clearing out the area. Let's see what a difference it makes with our example department:
A: It's not uncommon to have machines that are no longer needed or used, but no one can bear to remove them. This machine is no longer needed, so we are removing it and the workbench next to it.
B: The amount of work in process needed in an area will vary, but remember, your department is not a storage area so get extra WIP out.
C: Storage cabinets have a way of collecting lots of unneeded items, so it's best to get them out.
D: Personal tool cabinets take up a lot of room and the tools are only available to one employee and the tools cannot be placed at point of use.
E: Extra pallets can be removed from the area and if needed, a location can be created for them to be stacked up.
F: Chairs are seldom necessary in a Lean environment. Chairs detract from flow and an efficient process.
G: Extra tools that are not immediately needed can be removed
H: As well as the extra trashcan
I: Finally, we have removed any paperwork that is not needed for current production
J: You can clearly see the amount of extra space you now have for production or additional equipment, which will increase your capacity. You can now see the possibilities of re-arranging this department to make it more efficient. That is where set-in-order comes into play.
* The benefits of sort are many:
A: First of all, it is quite a bit easier to just move around in the area
B: And that means less things in the area to trip over, meaning less accidents
C: sorting typically removes barriers that might have built up over the years
D: And that helps to improve communication
E: Employees don't have to search nearly as much to find what they need
F: So the time it takes to set-up machines or equipment decreases along with the searching time.
G: This causes Productivity to increase
H: And the waste of human energy and frustration decreases
I: And we can put a few extra dollars in our pocket by eliminating these wastes.
* Remember, 5S is not easy. If it were, everybody would have done it already. But as you can clearly see, the benefits of sort are worth the effort it takes to implement.
We hope you have enjoyed this presentation. Look for the other videos in the 5S series on Set-in-order, shine, standardize, and sustain. And if you need help training employees or implementing 5S visit us at xtremelean.us .
