3M Lean

The document discusses the principles of a LEAN system, which aims to eliminate waste from processes. It identifies three main types of waste - muda (7 forms like overproduction), mura (uneven workflow), and muri (overloading workers). Reducing waste lowers costs and allows prices to be reduced while maintaining profits. Value-adding activities that customers are willing to pay for should be identified and non-value adding activities eliminated to have a smooth, flexible flow without disruptions.

Supporting goals
• A balanced system,
smooth, rapid flow of
materials and/or work

– Eliminate disruption
– Make the system
flexible
– eliminate waste,
especially excess
inventory
WHY REDUCE WASTE?
Price = Cost + Profit.
Price – Cost = Profit

Value Added / Non Value Added
• That customer is
willing to pay
• That changes
products color,
function, shape, other
attributes so that the
product is getting
closer to the
customers
requirements
• That we do right at

Non value-add process


Value-add process
Wastes
• Those processes which directly do not
create value for customers (muda, mura,
muri) :
– that are not necessary, and must be
eliminated
– That are necessary, because these are
supporting value-add processes, cannot be
eliminated (like transporting)
• Muda – 7 wastes of lean
• Mura – not leveled workflow
• Muri – overloading of workers and assets
MUDA, MURA, MURI
Relationship between Muda, Mura, Muri
Elimination of Waste
There are 7 wastes(MUDA) in
LEAN (TIMWOOD):
• Transportation
• Inventory
• Motion
• Waiting
• Over Production
• Over Processing
• Defects

Inventory storage
• Inventory storage is a waste,
• a buffer which can cover up problems, partly
because inventory makes them seem less
serious.
