Why give priority to productivity on the line
side? The production line is the place where value is created and place with
the highest labor density.
The production line is the most expensive place in terms of
plant investment, production costs, and labor costs.
One of the golden rules of Lean Manufacturing is that the elimination of Muda must be must be prioritized to the point of added value, i.e. assembly points.
Using Ecoflex as a catalyst, we can see how Mudas must be
“moved” from the line to upstream processes, so that it can then be reduced and
eliminated.
