Continuous Improvement: The Lessons of History(or, There is nothing new under the sun)

SCM 352

Dr. Ron LembkeSlide2
Slide3

Eli Whitneyintroduced interchangeable parts in large musket contract for U.S. Army

Interchangeable parts the true secret of Ford’s success

Made possible by advances in measurement and tool steelSlide4
Slide5

Frederick W. TaylorFrederick W. Taylor:

Father of “Scientific Management”

Find ways to improve work environment and work processes

Quantify, measure & track everything:

Time required to haul wheelbarrow:Slide6
Slide7

Factory Life

“Schmidt”

Taylor’s FactorySlide8

Frank and Lillian GilbrethSystematically study a work environment and find the best way to achieve a particular task

With Taylor, pioneered “industrial engineering” -- time and motion studies

“Cheaper by the Dozen”Slide9

Motion CaptureLights illuminate key motion joints

For Computer Generation, convert to 3DSlide10

Andrew CarnegieTelegraph operator to RR division superintendent

Adopted latest technology, built first steel plant laid out to optimize flow

Focused on knowing, lowering unit cost

Raise prices with everyone else in booms, slash prices in recessionSlide18

Andrew Carnegie

Production: US England

1868 8,500 111,000

1902 9,138,000 1,862,000

Steel Prices: (per ton)

1870 $100

1890 $12

How? Continuous Process Improvement Slide19

The Richest Man in the WorldFound out strike organizers, fired before

1886 “Triumphant Democracy”, Forum magazine- workers’ right to unionize

1889 “Gospel of Wealth:” rich need to help the poor ($25m annual income)

1892 Homestead strike: 12 hour gunfight, Pinkerton defeated (12 died), state militia called in, strike breakers hired

1901 sells out to J.P. Morgan: $480m

Built 2,500 libraries. “The man who dies rich dies disgraced.”

1919 dies, having given away 90%Slide20

Skibo CastleSlide21

#2 Richest person EVER

Henry FordContinuous Process Improvement

Advances in metal cutting allowed him to cut pre-hardened steel, produce identical parts

Standardized parts facilitated standardization of jobs, moving assembly line

Model T: 1908 $850

1920’s: $250Slide23

Vertical IntegrationOwned forests, iron mines, rubber plantation, coal mines, ships, railroad lines

Dock facilities, blast furnaces, foundries, rolling mills, stamping plants, an engine plant, glass manufacturing, a tire plant, its own power plant, and 90 miles of RR track

1927 Model A Production begins

15,000,000 cars in 15 years

120,000 employees in WWIISlide24
Slide25

Details to the MaxIn his autobiographies “My Life and Work” (1922), and “Today and Tomorrow” (1926), Ford gives great detail on innovations he and his company have made, including:

Glass making, Artificial leather

Steering wheels out of Fordite

heat treating -- saved $36m in 4 years (1922)

Forging parts, wiremaking

Riveting, bronze bushings, springsSlide26

Kingsford CharcoalSlide27

Shigeo Shingo and ToyotaToyota’s quest for Quality

Focused on allowing product to

flow

through the plant as evenly as possible.

Kanban and JIT are two important ways to achieve this

Continuous Process Improvement

The Lessons of HistoryContinuously improving your products, your services is the only way you will survive

Ignore your customers, and they’ll go away

Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
