What are the Benefits of a Lean Transformation?
All types of service and manufacturing organizations are discovering the advantages applying the principles of Lean. Perhaps you're faced with one, or many, of these challenges:
Missed order dates
High product or service cost relative to the competition
Losing market share due to increased delivery time or cost problems
Limited production capacity - space is used by inventory
If so, Lean can have an immediate and positive impact on your company. Through the process of implementing Lean you will be able to find ways to achieve a number of benefits. Results will vary, but here are some typical savings and improvements:
| Reduce Service or Product Lead Time |
50 - 90% |
| Recovered Office or Floor Space |
05 - 30 % |
| Reduction in Work-in-Process |
60 - 80% |
| Increase First-Pass Yields |
50 - 100% |
| Increase Service or Product Throughput |
40 - 80% |
| Increased Organizational Productivity |
75 - 125% |
The True Costs Of Inventory
Reducing inventory is an important goal of the lean organization. Carrying inventory has many associated costs. Obvious costs include: capital tied up in inventory and the associated loss of interest on that capital. Loss due to material handling damage, increased labor costs for material handling, and increased space and storage requirement. A cost from excess inventory that is not so obvious is quality. In fact, many companies have seen quality improvements resulting from inventory reductions while not focusing on quality. The reasoning is that if an upstream process is producing parts on a machine and defects occur halfway through the batch, in an organization with low levels of inventory the next downstream process will discover the defects sooner. An organization with low inventory levels can stop the process when the defect is discovered, throw out the defective inventory, and request the previous process to start another batch. The organization with lower inventory levels will also be more effective at determining what caused the defect because the batch that the defect occurred in is fresh in the minds of both production and maintenance.
