What are the factors that affect the success of lean production?

Tianxingjian Consulting summarized the factors affecting the success of lean production as follows:

1, leadership support

Whether the company's leadership understands and agrees with the ideas and principles of lean production and actively participates in the introduction of lean production plays a key role in the implementation effect. Let them take the lead in promoting the whole project. This means that all senior managers must take part in training with workshop workers, and no matter how busy they are, they must take time out to participate in the whole implementation process of lean production.

2. Corporate culture

The introduction of lean production can be said to be an ideological change, and people will always have an instinctive resistance. This kind of resistance will show different behaviors in front of different corporate cultures. If the original style and traditional habits of enterprises include "eliminating waste and encouraging innovation", this resistance will soon be transformed into the driving force of lean production reform; If the corporate culture is the opposite, the obstacles can be imagined.

3. Human resources policy

The implementation of lean production will greatly improve the production efficiency and competitiveness of enterprises, and will certainly win more orders from customers. At that time, it is not necessary to lay off staff, but to increase staff. Enterprises should fully communicate with employees in advance and obtain their support.

4. Executive body

Lean production needs a special organization to promote it, which can be composed of full-time staff or part-time staff, depending on the scale of the enterprise. The promotion organization of lean production should be directly led by the general manager.

5. Professional skills

Lean production is a systematic project. When it comes to lean, many people think of "zero inventory", but this is not lean production. Lean production is not a simple imitation in form, and needs in-depth study and understanding. Enterprises should constantly digest and absorb some lean tools suitable for them, such as industrial engineering, value stream diagram analysis, error prevention technology, TPM, etc., and create a set of lean production mode suitable for them.

6, continuous improvement goals

Lean production needs a series of measurement indicators to measure the effectiveness of lean production, thus attracting the attention of all employees from top to bottom and working hard to achieve the goal. General measurement indicators include return on investment, profit rate, delivery cycle, inventory turnover rate, customer defect rate, unit cost, per capita efficiency and so on.

7. Pay attention to customer value

The core of lean thinking lies in "defining value from the customer's point of view". The elimination of waste needs to follow the following ways: accurately determining the value of specific products, identifying the value stream of each product, making the value stream flow continuously, creating value by customers and pursuing perfection.

8. Effective incentives

(1) material incentives

Enterprises gradually link material incentives with employee performance. In the process of wage reform, enterprises insist on linking wages with employees' labor effect and work performance, completely breaking egalitarianism and stimulating employees' work enthusiasm. Take a variety of salary forms according to different positions and different management. Such as piecework salary, post salary, contract salary, annual salary system, etc. To adapt to the various stages of enterprise development.

(2) Non-material incentives

Enterprises are people-oriented, respect the opinions and suggestions of employees, implement the rationalization suggestions put forward by employees one by one, give appropriate material rewards and set up rationalization rewards.
