Contoh 2. Perbaikan Proses - Second Lean in Germany - Breaking Down a Process

Summary

In this video, Christiana from Yellow Tools in Germany works on improving the efficiency of a labeling process. The process starts at 46 seconds and goes through various iterations, eliminating inefficiencies like over-processing and misalignment. By introducing tools like a fence for alignment and simplifying the steps, the time is reduced to 13 seconds. Continuous improvements, including better positioning of materials and adding arrows for alignment, help shave off seconds, eventually bringing the process closer to the goal of 10 seconds. The video showcases the power of teamwork and small adjustments in streamlining tasks.

Takeaways

• 😀 Focus on eliminating over-processing by reducing unnecessary actions, such as multiple pumps or squeegee motions.
• 😀 Alignment issues are a major time consumer and need to be addressed to improve efficiency.
• 😀 Using simple tools like a fence or material to assist with alignment can significantly reduce the time spent on tasks.
• 😀 Small adjustments, such as adding arrows to stickers for easy identification, help eliminate fumbling and save time.
• 😀 Reducing movement by making tools and materials more accessible (e.g., having them closer by) leads to faster task completion.
• 😀 Each improvement, even if small, adds up, bringing the time down from 46 seconds to 12 seconds.
• 😀 Aiming for specific time goals (e.g., 10 seconds) helps guide the process of continual improvement.
• 😀 Collaboration and team problem-solving are key in identifying and testing new methods to improve efficiency.
• 😀 Focus on simplifying the task by eliminating unnecessary steps and making the workflow more intuitive.
• 😀 Tracking the time throughout the process and testing different methods ensures measurable progress and allows for further refinements.

Q & A

What was the initial task Christiana was struggling with?

Christiana was struggling with applying a sticker onto a surface, ensuring it was aligned properly using a squeegee, and reducing the time spent on this task.

What was the original time it took Christiana to complete the task?

The original time it took to complete the task was 46 seconds.

What was the first change made to improve the process?

The first change was eliminating unnecessary over-processing, specifically reducing the number of pump actions when applying the fluid.

What issue continued to consume time even after the first improvement?

The alignment of the sticker continued to be a major time-consuming issue, as Christiana struggled to align it properly even after reducing over-processing.

How did the alignment problem get addressed in the second improvement?

The alignment issue was partially addressed by using fewer squeegee strokes and focusing on a more controlled approach, which reduced time to 23 seconds.

What major adjustment was introduced at the third improvement stage?

At the third stage, a fixture was introduced to help align the material without requiring manual handling, further improving the process and reducing the time to 17 seconds.

What final tweak was made to achieve a time of 12-16 seconds?

The final tweak involved adjusting the placement of materials and the jig, making the process more ergonomic, and reducing unnecessary motions, which reduced the time to between 12 and 16 seconds.

What was the goal Christiana and the team were aiming for in terms of time?

The goal was to reduce the time spent on the task to 10 seconds or less.

What role did teamwork play in improving the process?

Teamwork played a crucial role in identifying inefficiencies and collaboratively developing solutions, such as the fixture to hold the material in place, which led to significant improvements in efficiency.

How much time was ultimately shaved off the original task?

The time was reduced from the original 46 seconds to as low as 12-16 seconds, with the ultimate goal of 10 seconds being within reach.
