LECTURE
NOTES
On the 10th Oct 2015 I was invited to
Cambridge Institute of Technology to deliver a Lecture on “LEAN AND GREEN IN THE WORK PLACE AND AT HOME” The brief points
are given below:-
The lecture began with the authors experience being a
Production Manager for the first time, his nightmarish experience of all his
Customers demanding their products “YESTERDAY”.
To ease off the tensions he described his experience in obtaining his son’s
Birth Certificate at the Nasik Municipality. This was given in a matter of
about 10 minutes. This time without him demanding it “YESTERDAY”
He then went on to say how they did it. This was a
trigger to him to perform likewise and deliver to his Customers like the Nasik
Municipality Officials did it. Later in his capacity as a Tool Room Manager he
implemented what he learned.
In all the Implementation of Lean Projects things
began with an advanced version of “A SWATCHH BHARAT” technically called as 5S.
He went on to explain what is 5S in a brief manner.
He briefly touched upon the other important tools used
in Lean at the Office and explained with examples from his own House, how his
wife used to do a Vendor Rating of all her Kirana Stores, and zeroing in on
only one Kirana Stores for all her Groceries. How she would order based on
actual consumption as is done in a modern day Kanbans in Lean Factories all
over the world. In this way her Grocery Inventory was kept small.
He mentioned how wastes in Factories are simply thrown
away. If it could be segregated it can be sold as special scrap or even as raw
materials to scrap vendors. This even included the modern day Electronic Scrap
like old computers and peripherals, paper waste, fused bulbs, cartridges etc.
Many Industries also treat their waste water before discharging into water
bodies. The sludge so recovered is a good money maker. Rain water harvesting
saves a lot of water from the Municipal resources. He then went on to give
examples which they at Malleshwaram are segregrating House Hold wastes into wet
waste and dry waste. The wet waste (Kitchen Waste) is handed over to the
Municipality for converting into Manure, while the dry waste is further
segregrated into paper, plastic, metal and misc waste and sold to specialist
scrap dealers. Further all house hold electronic wastes are sold to specialist
Electronic Scrap dealer who processes these scrap into safe base materials and
disposed off.
The lecture ended by 5 videos on various aspects of
lean in the factory and home, 5s in the workplace and home, and lastly how a
mother never seems to complete her house work, with a toddler around in the
house.
