What it is?
By reducing Transportation you will improve the productivity and process efficiency and further reducing operating costs and eventually increase operating profit margin.

7 Waste of Lean Manufacturing series and today we talk the last series of Waste which is:
Waste No. 7 - Waste of Transportation
Waste No. 7 - Waste of Transportation
What it is?
- Transport a lot from one process to one process taking long period of time is a waste of transportation.
- A poor layout of process from start to finishing can also lead to movement of lot and people taking long period of time.
- Large size of batches can also contribute waste of transportation.
- Multiple storage area can also cause waste of transportation.
- Multiple storage of tools and equipment causes waste of transport.
How you over come it?
- Create value stream and make the flow of the process at the pull of customers.
- Creating value stream, created process that production line contain value adding process rather a functional process.
- Reducing the space of the process to make the process in short and fast output.
- Improving factory layout through the use of value stream mapping and process mapping can give huge savings in time and money.
- Waste of overproduction can also lead to waste of transportation. Over production lot need to travel more frequent.
Hope above simple sharing can give you some of pointers to help your process to overcome the waste No.7 - Transportation in Lean manufacturing.
By reducing Transportation you will improve the productivity and process efficiency and further reducing operating costs and eventually increase operating profit margin.
