Lean Manufacturing: Kanban Update
http://nomuda.blogspot.com/2008/09/kanban-update.html
Dedicated to the elimination of process waste. Sunday, September 7, 2008. Today's update is that we are now calculating our Kanban sizes. I am getting quotes from Creform and American Pro-pipe for gravity feed racks. This initiative is really picking up steam in our department. Tomorrow I have a review of our current calculations and i'll present the quotes to managment regarding what we are going to have to invest. Posted by No.more.muda@gmail.com.

Dedicated to the elimination of process waste. Wednesday, September 10, 2008. Kanban Update, new calculator available…. I have to express my appreciation to Hank. Hank provided me a fundamental Kanban calculator which is simple and straightforward to use. More impressively, this Kanban calculator can be used as a foundation to drive greater tools. Again, Hank, thanks a lot. I am going to try and post a sample image of the calculator. Posted by No.more.muda@gmail.com. Sunday, September 7, 2008. Today's up...

Dedicated to the elimination of process waste. Wednesday, March 25, 2009. I have been on a 5 month hiatus from blogging. Let me give an update on where my Kanban project currently is. This blog entry is more of an organizational behavior observation than a project update. The flow racks are on the floor and there are targets set to actually begin training for the team members on the floor. One thing that I have accomplished is a 5S initiative for changeover carts for my former area. One of our primar...

Dedicated to the elimination of process waste. Saturday, October 11, 2008. Ok, we now have the flow racks in place. We have our Kanbans calculated. We have mapped the flow of the cards through the process. Next week will be scheduling production to build our inventory stores and get them in place. We will cover the rules of Kanban so that bad manufacturing practices do not kill our Kanban stores. By the end of the month we hopefully will be turning on the Kanban system.

Dedicated to the elimination of process waste. Thursday, August 28, 2008. TPS and structured organizations. There is some brewing debate within my organization regarding the implementation of TPS and how the leadership structure must be organized. We are attempting to implement our tweaked version of the Toyota Production System while using the "star points" self-directed work team structure. i.e. we don't have supervisors or team leaders like Toyota.
