Actividad 2 T3 Heinjuka PDF

Heijunka is a Japanese term meaning "leveling" that refers to production leveling in Lean manufacturing. The goal is to improve process flow to better match customer demand, reduce waste, and eliminate batch processing. To achieve Heijunka, companies standardize work, improve takt time to match customer needs, and sequence work in small batches in the order that customers place orders. Implementing Heijunka requires persistence and aligning materials delivery and production with Just-In-Time principles to provide customers what they need when they need it.

Introducción
In the following work we will learn more about the Heinjuka Methodology, with the
objective of knowing more about the management and implementation of this tool at
a given time in the company.
He considered this tool one of the bases to make a company a real lean company.

Desarrollo
Heijunka is a Japanese word meaning leveling. In Lean, it refers to production
leveling, aimed at improving the flow of a process to better match customer demand,
reducing waste, and reducing or abandoning batch processing.
What is the importance of production leveling?
Lean focuses on reducing waste and improving customer value. Mura - one of the
forms of waste (Muda) - comes from the Japanese word for unevenness. For
example, in software development, there is a phenomenon known as the death
march. It's where, after slow, relaxed project starts, most of the work is crammed into
the final stages of the project, during which team members are expected to work
overtime.
How to achieve a Heijunka flow?
Heijunka is not an easy state to achieve and needs the company where it is
implemented to persist on its Lean path. A level production is often associated with
a mature Lean implementation and often occurs together with the following practices:
• Single-minute exchange of die (reduced tool changeover time).
• Small batch sizes.
• A Kanban production system aligned with customer demand and driven by
the customer-facing team.
• Knowledge of your customers.
To achieve Heijunka, a company must do the following:
Step 1: Standardize the work.
Attempting to standardize work is a simple first step to knowing how and where to
improve it. Through the process, teams will understand how to differentiate between
internal and external work, learn to practice assigned operating procedures and
correctly handle errors.
Step 2: Work to improve takt time
A lean company executes work according to the customer's takt time and must
understand when customers need their product. The production team must then use
Kanban not only for the work required but also for the materials required according
to customer orders.
Step 3: Sequencing
Work must be sequenced to ensure many small batches rather than one large
volume and to execute the delivery of the order in the same sequence in which it
was placed. At Toyota, the ordering of materials and production of goods are aligned

with the Just-In-Time (JIT) principle - items are simply delivered to customers when
they need them.

Conclusión
To conclude, I can say that I did fulfill my objective, which was to learn more about
this tool and to know more about its phases and why it is considered important to
implement it.
