people it will take to perform these
methods and what positions should they
be in?

measured for performance?
 What is the “cycle time” of each part of the
Method?
1.Machines
 When examining your facilities, vehicles and
tools, do you have everything you need to
ensure the safety of the employees while
maximizing the efficiency and productivity of
the department?
 Do all employees have access to the same
tools and equipment if needed?
 Do the tools enable them to perform tasks
independently?
 Are they trained on how to maintain the
machinery and tools?
3. Materials
 Do you have the materials needed to
perform all parts of production and are
they conveniently located to minimize
waste? Example: All material needed to
clean and package are always available
and are placed to minimize effort. Does
the layout of the production department
minimize wasted movement? Example:
Does the part flow go in one direction or
does it zig and zag throughout your
facility.

 The Manager will determine the most efficient way
for each portion of the process to be done to
eliminate damage to the product and to eliminate
areas where time and manpower are be wasted.

 Controlling waste is the key to efficient and


profitable production.
