    Lean manufacturing terms

    What is WCM?
    WCM – world class manufacturing is the philosophy of being the best, the fastest, and
    the lowest cost producer of a product or service. It implies the constant improvement of
    products, processes, and services to remain an industry leader and provide the best choice
    for customers, regardless of where they are in the process.

    What is Water spider?


    Water spider – one who performs a wide range of tasks which allow workers to perform
    ‘value-added’ tasks.

    What is Teian?
    Teian – a proposal, proposition, or suggestion. A teian system can be likened to a system
    which allows and encourages workers to actively propose process and product
    improvements.

    What is Takt Time (TT)?


    Takt Time (TT). The pace at which work must be completed to meet customer demand.
    To calculate, divide the available work time by the customer demand for that period. For
    example, if a call center receives 900 calls per shift, and there are 27,000 seconds of
    available work time, the takt time is 30 seconds per call. Therefore, one call must be
    completed every 30 seconds to meet customer demand.

    What is Standard Work?


    Standard Work. Documentation of the best known method for completing a task or
    activity. This becomes the way for everyone working on that process to perform the
    work. This also becomes the baseline for future work. In the words of Taichii Ohno,
    “where there is no standard, there can be no kaizen (improvement).”

    What is Stakeholder?
    Stakeholder – Anyone who has an interest in a process, typically as supplier, customer
    or one who actually performs the work.

    What is Spaghetti Diagram?


    Spaghetti Diagram. A diagram representing the physical path taken by a product (or
    service) as it travels through all the steps required to transform a requirement into a
    deliverable. This can also be used to draw the path walked by those involved in
    completing the required activities to deliver the product (or service). The diagram derives
    its name from the way it commonly looks after mapping a process that within a function-
    based organization because the diagram looks much like a plate of spaghetti.

    What is SMED?
    SMED – abbreviation for Single Minute Exchange of Die; literally, changing a die on a
    forming or stamping machine in a minute or less; broadly, the ability to perform any
    setup activity in ten or fewer minutes of process downtime; the key to doing this is
    frequently the capability to convert internal setup time to external setup time. A variation
    on SMED is OTED (One touch exchange of die); literally, changing a die with one
    physical motion such as pushing a button; broadly, an extremely simple procedure for
    performing a setup activity.

    What is Shojinka?
    Shojinka – continually optimizing the number of workers in a work center to meet the
    type and volume of demand imposed on the work center; shojinka requires workers
    trained in multiple disciplines; work center layout, such as U-shaped or circular, that
    supports a variable number of workers performing the tasks in the layout; the capability
    to vary the manufacturing process as appropriate to fit the demand profile.

    What is Setup time?


    Setup time – work required to change over a machine or process from one item or
    operation to the next item or operation; can be divided into two types:
    1. internal: setup work that can be done only when the machine or process is not actively
    engaged in production; OR
    2. external: setup work that can be done concurrently with the machine or process
    performing production duties.
