    Love your parts and information. Thanks!
    What i do for parts when removing them from the machine with coolant, I have a suitable bucket of water by the door. I don't even blow it off, just drop it in the bucket, blow off the vise, install the new part and cycle start. Then I remove the part from the water and clean and inspect while the machine is running. Then you can dump the water right into the coolant tank when it gets too much coolant in the water and repeat. This also stops excess coolant mist in the air which is better for the operator.

    My favorite Lean lesson:
    Lean is NOT a destination, it's a journey that never ends.
    My second favorite Lean lesson:
    Lean is NOT a directive from on high. It it a mindset for each individual that results in a positive culture. Outstanding productivity is simply a byproduct of a great company culture. 👏

    You should see the waste at my work. Just this week I put 2+ meter ton kg of scrapped parts away ((stainless steels anything from nothing much to inconel and so on so on on top of that with coatings and stuff) theys were good setup material tho) because we set up a robot. And the wasted space from having waste machines that just sit there never get used anymore.

    Hi Jay. I know your work does not fall into this bracket but it would be so great if you could one day explore the implementation of lean practices and making efficiencies in the high mix, low volume (down to 1-off) manufacturing environment, with a whole lotta skill requirement, a lot of manual input, and of course a lot of inconsistency and chaos. Either that or point me in the direction of those who have managed to successfully do this. Many thanks from the UK

    The other way to look at it is "lean " is also the reason people can't get parts ... example I can't even get a spindle belt for a cnc mill because gates is 2 months out on making them ... and none of the "distributors " even stock them ..all they do is drop ship

    • @krenthabohl

      A lot of that is outsourcing. When the shipping delays hit, it showed how much transportation waste there actually is.

      Lean is about eliminating waste. When the supply chain is in good condition, companies can avoid waste by excess inventory.
      When the supply chain is compromised, a lean company focus on not wasting opportunities. That is done by altering what you define as excess inventory.
      On this particular day....to be lean you need to think further ahead to avoid waste. Many companies are struggling to make that expensive change in operations.

    How can we continue operating in a lean/JIT fashion when the supply chain issues in the last few years have taught us that we probably need to stock more raw materials because you might not be able to get it when need them.

    I appreciate your viewpoints on Brain power.. I am intrigued by your definition of LEAN (Brain Power) is slightly different than what I've learned in Six Sigma. Non-utilized Employee Talent is how I learned it as... and that to me has a broader application.
    I.e...
    Example #1)
    Employee #1 is good @ operating a saw, but you have them driving a fork lift, because that's what they were hired to do. (If if you don't give them an opportunity to fail or succeed @ another position in the shop, you will never recognize their talents)
    Example # 2)
    Employee #2 is a machine operator, but you have them pushing a broom, because you don't have any material for them to put in the machine.

    • @PiersonWorkholding
      @PiersonWorkholding  2 года назад +2

      "Non utilized employee talent" is too narrow and is a poor definition taught in Six Sigma (BTW, Lean Six Sigma is the epitome of profit-centric lean). "Misused Brainpower" expands the definition to emphasize not engaging in low brainpower tasks.

    I have heard you mention about debureing or chamfering in the machine as much as possible to minimize over processing and wasted motion. I had a disagreement with my boss regarding things being deburred outside on the machine because so long as you can do so within process of your next piece running you are saving cycle time. I can’t see why you wouldn’t add a couple minutes to a for example 45 minute cycle time vs. spending 30 of it to deburr a large contour while the next part is running, then repeat. What would your argument or standpoint be on that scenario? Thank you it means a ton!

    • @PiersonWorkholding
      @PiersonWorkholding  2 года назад +1

      Chamfering and/or deburring outside of the machine ties up the most important asset in the shop - people! This is a misuse of brainpower by doing a relatively dumb task. Humans are very inconsistent when it comes to hand work and are also prone to defects (another lean waste) by deburring too heavy, slipping and damaging the part (or injuring themselves), or missing an edge altogether. Ideally, people should never do the work that a machine can do. If you're twiddling your thumbs because the machine took away your deburring task, GREAT! Use that time to improve your work area or process.

    This is all good but you make your own products and with that you can have a set system but I've got in a round about way a job shop one day I'll be wire cutting the next milling the next turning so from one to the next it's never the same unless I get production work and now the biggest problem for me is getting materials in [UK] , I had a job to make 300 parts, I had enough 38mm bar to do 40, it took me 3 weeks to get enough metal in and then I had to buy 40mm because no one had 38mm, luckily the customer was understanding but still kept the pressure on. I would love to be able use lean ideas but it wouldn't work due to a vast array of different jobs that I do. I'm in the boat with 99% of other toolmakers looking for that niche market to make own products. 👍

    I do not see how running a full year’s worth of parts at a time is lean, regardless of the size or cost. In my mind a lean process would be to get the kanban to a reasonable level and work on optimizing machine setup times. If it takes an inordinate amount of time to set up a part then look at part design, tooling or setup procedures to get closer to the “Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) concept.

    • @PiersonWorkholding
      @PiersonWorkholding  2 года назад +3

      Good observation. Allow me to explain. First of all, this is specific to a bar fed lathe running small parts since it runs unattended. By running 1 component for 1 month, we only transport material 1 time per year (transportation). We only need 1 spot for the raw material, not a large material track for multiple bar sizes (excess inventory). All setups, even smed setups, are overprocessing so 1 setup per year vs 4 quarterly setups reduces overprocessing. Ultimately, who gets to decide what is too long? Is 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, 1 decade too much inventory? In our case, making a year's worth of components on this specific machine works perfectly.

    • @paulmace7910
      @paulmace7910 2 года назад

      @@PiersonWorkholding If that machine does nothing but those specific parts and has no free time that could be utilized then reducing setups is obviously desirable. I would still be nervous about “buying” that much finished inventory at one time.

Are you saying that you couldn’t pass savings on to the customer if you were in a more business friendly state. I imagine the money saved if you were in a state like FL for instance would be an order of magnitude over say #6 (wasted motion).
