The answer to all this complexity is
of course…….COMPUTERS
YOU START TO LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR BUSINESS

THE CONSEQUENCES OF GROWTH = INCREASING COMPLEXITYWITHOUT BETTER BUSINESS PROCESSES YOU WILL GET:
• Lead times increase.• Batch sizes increase to maximize
“efficiency”.• Inventory increases.• Demand for cash exceeds extra cash from
revenue. • Insufficient cash to support growth.
• More people, more layers, vertical silos more overheads.
• Labour efficiency falls• More people harder to supervise.• Defects and problems increase.• Problems don’t get solved because there
are just too many to solve. • Profit margins decrease.
YOU WILL STOP GROWING AND SUFFER CASHFLOW PROBLEMS

WHAT IS LEAN?
• A set of principles and techniques that eliminate waste , and deliver to our customers…
exactly what they need when they need it in the quantity they need in the right sequence without defects and at the lowest possible cost
Value
Waste

WHAT IS VALUE?• Those activities that a client is willing to pay for when they
engage our services.
WHAT IS WASTE?
What You THINK Your Process Is
What It ACTUALLY Is
What It SHOULD Be
“Waste is often disguised as useful
work.”Hiroyuki Hirano

Challenges in FramingMain Characteristics in Framing Business
• Usually ”high street” direct to public• Typically 1 to 10 employees• Huge range of options – materials, finish, size etc.• Time & skill intensive• Typical customer lead times 1 to 2 weeks• Between 10 and 20 jobs per week• Main Issues
• Work Flow• Inventory
© TXM Lean Solutions Pty Ltd 2019 CONFIDENTIAL18
Workflow – Waiting, Motion, Over-Processing, Defects & Errors• Do I have a workflow? When was the last time you
mapped your workflow?• Where does it start & end?
– Reception:• Minimise time in shop and with customer – no chair etc. • Perceived Value in long lead times “Time = Quality” dangerous
game with Online, Finish and move on• Charge a premium for priority
– Customer Requirements AND Production Requirements– Order form stays with order/take information only once

Lean Principle - Visual Management
© TXM Lean Solutions Pty Ltd 2019 CONFIDENTIAL21
Lean Principles –Takt Time & Load Leveling
• What rate should I be working at?• Takt Time = Customer Demand/Working Time Available
• e.g. 25 Frames per week = 5 per day = 84 mins per frame
How does 84mins relate to your lead time of 1 week?• Analyse the processes:
1. Identify the steps in the framing process2. Time each step3. Aim to bring each step below the Takt Time4. Level the Loads – adjust the resources to achieve the TAKT TIME for each step(If your total time is <84mins you have spare capacity)

Parkinson’s LawWhere can I save time and effort?
Technology not always the answer• Flow of work – Overhead
pneumatic tools• Are the right tools always
available• Cutting in multiples but
BATCHING IS BAD• Layout – Bench example with
200 pieces per day x 7m = 1.5km
• Bench height/Under Bench Storage
Lean Principle – 5S
© TXM Lean Solutions Pty Ltd 2019 CONFIDENTIAL23
TXM PRACTICAL 5S – P5S
1. Sort out what we ‘need’ and don’t need in our work area
2. Set in Order all the needed things, “a place for everything”
3. Shine & Check the area regularly with our eyes and a broom. Determine “everything is in its place, safe, clean ready for use” Look for exceptions, these are opportunities
4. Standardise processes and the ways we work5. Sustain this best practice through identifying
opportunities and fine tuning

How much stock do I have?• How is this recorded
Do I know where my stock is?• Stock location/accuracy
How much stock do I need?• How is this analysed
Do I have the right stock?• Fast and slow moving lines• Chops – pre cut frames (2x £) for convenience• Carriage costs
Am I buying the right quantities?• Do I really need to buy in bulk
How many suppliers do I have?• Do you have too many? Why?
Too many questions where do I start?
Inventory

LEAN PRINCIPLES – KANBAN & SAFETY STOCK
• Stock Level should be based on:• ABC Analysis• Takt Time = rate of order/production• Supplier Lead Time – reorder level• Safety Stock – based on mean order variation
• Production Rate and Pacemaker sets the demand
• Stock is not forecast but is ordered on demand from a “Make to Order” PULL Kanban - Signal to Replenish
• “Make to Stock” - Ties up Working Capital, reserve for highest demand items

TO FINISH…..
• Think about the core process in your business – the one that drives your sales.
• What is it that the customer actually values and pays for?• How much of the effort and resources of your business is spent on
actually delivering that value?
