Webinar: Total Flow Management: Material and Information Flow for Cash Flow by Kaizen Institute

About this Knowledge certification

All Organizations be it small or large do face severe competition at the marketplace & also face challenges in meeting the ever-changing needs of the Customers. To meet such challenges organisations, need to review their current paradigm & practices followed.

Kaizen Institute with their worldwide experiential learnings has evolved a model – KAIZEN™ Business Systems (KBS) to successfully meet such challenges.

KBS addresses the way to enhance Long term Company Values, in turn, enhance Value to all its stakeholders consistently.

KBS approach is to evolve a strategy to achieve “Growth” & “Operational Excellence” in the Organizations.

Operational excellence is primarily towards Cost Management for being competitive by using tools for Improving - Flow, Productive Maintenance, Quality, Services & Sourcing and Suppliers.

Total Flow Management enables to enhance Flow Efficiency in all the three Flows viz Production Flow, Internal Logistics Flow & External Logistics Flow.

The Flow efficiency is improved by eliminating/reducing all types of Wastes – Muda (7 Types), Mura & Muri in the entire value chain, optimising Inventory levels and with the implementation of Standard work.

Learn Pull Flow - Super Market and Kanban

Friday, May 21, 2021 · 4:30 PM IST

As we design Lean Manufacturing Systems, we start with Lean Layouts on the shop floor, which are characterised by one-piece-flow in discrete manufacturing plants.
When the customer, internal or external, is not within visual range, we need some signalling device to tell us what to produce, when to produce & how much to produce so as to prevent the muda of ‘overproduction’.

This visual signal is called a ‘Produce Kanban’. The produced material now waits for a signal from the customer to move from its’ storage location to the customer location. This second signal is called a ‘Move Kanban’.

The storage location, where the material waits before moving towards the customer, is called a ‘Supermarket’; not a store’ or a ‘warehouse’, because of its’ supermarket like characteristics.

This program introduces you to these two elements of Lean Manufacturing Systems – Supermarkets & Kanbans.
