Lean Workstructuring

Collaborative brainstorming session; team members are encouraged to address problems beyond their field of expertise.

project planning that is commitment based and integrates should-can-will-did planning (pull planning, make-ready, look-ahead, constraint, and PPC analysis).

LWS & Production Control

• Independent activities to optimize them as opposed to LWS that optimizes the whole.
• it looks at the pieces to

LWS = influence on design Constructability = reaction to design

• Trial execution of the process; pilot or a dry run; cross-functional team.
• it follows Shewart PDCA cycle.

• is the network of commitments active?
• are promises to complete the work in the right sequence?

• are we confident we can deliver the milestones?
• have we designed a network of commitments?

interim goals, feasibility (can we deliver the project within the set limits?)

Enhanced workflow reliability allows for rapid learning improves coordination between work executors waste removal through innovation

• PPC = completed weekly assignments ÷ total weekly promised assignments
• Metric to measure the reliability of the production planning system; it enables us to make adjustments for continuous improvement

Person or group that directs workers by assigning them their tasks.

• rough cut operations
• detailed operations design (sequencing, material availability, video taping)

• master schedule
• phase
• make-ready
• weekly work plans

process = flow of material  information operation = work performed

...developing project's design while aligning engineering design, supply chain, resource allocation, and assembly.
