Standard Work Run Cycle Analysis

Topics in this Video

• Following the instructions for your Standard Work template, you should have already...

  1) Entered your Initial Data
  2) Entered your Time Observations
  3) Documented your Work Instructions
  4) Performed Work Load Balancing and Value Add Analysis
  5) Completed Shift or Batch Cycle Analysis

• What's a Run Cycle? — 1:00

  This section analyzes only those Work Elements that happen EVERY Run Cycle

  (stripping out the 'Out of Cycle Work' elements that have any other Frequency)

• SMED — 1:30

  The most popular reason for doing Run Cycle Analysis is for SMED Quick Changeover Setup Reduction

  to reduce batch sizes, to harvest the many benefits of lean flow

• Process Time - Run Cycle — 3:00

  The sum of Process Times for only those Work Elements that happen EVERY Run Cycle

  Frequency = '♥Run'
  (or blank, which defaults to '♥Run')

  This Process Time does NOT include Personal Fatigue and Delay

• Batch Size — 4:30

  Use your Value Stream Mapping template to determine the Optimum Changeover Batch Size for (only) the Pacemaker process, which usually establishes the batch size for every other upstream and downstream process in the entire value stream.

• Out of Cycle Work — 7:45

  Process Time (with Personal Fatigue and Delay) for anything that doesn't happen EVERY Run Cycle.

  Work Elements with any Frequency other than '♥Run' (or blank, which defaults to '♥Run')

• Run Time Available — 8:15

  Run Time Available = Work Time Available minus Out of Cycle Work

• Takt Time per Run Cycle — 9:00

  Takt Time per Run Cycle = (Run Time Available / Demand) * Quantity per Run Cycle

  Takt Time is your planning drumbeat.
  How often completed Run Cycle batches NEED to come out the end of the pipe.

• Target Cycle Time — 10:45

  'Target Cycle Time' is usually equal to 'Takt Time per Run Cycle', but you can also manually adjust it for other factors of Sales & Operations Planning.

• Standard Work Combination Sheet — 11:45

  Click the button for either 'All Operators' or 'Selected Operators'

  Do all of your editing on the 'StdWk' sheet, because any editing that you do on a Combination Table (-C) sheet will be overwritten the next time that you chart operators

  Chart row alignment

  External Operators and External Steps are shown on the Standard Work Combination Sheet, but are excluded from the chart and from calculations, which makes this a powerful tool for SMED Quick Changeover Setup Reduction
