Long Distance Transportation for Articles Movement

Obviously, the path length in the process of moving goods manufacturing system is very disturbing, therefore, the company tried to minimize the transport distance from one place to another place. Distance delivery is highly dependent on such things as follows:

Factory Layout
Plant layout should be made with ripe at the time of the original factory design. One of them is based on the efficiency of the transport of material from the loading bay to the store, from store to production areas, from process to process, from production process to finished good stores and so forth.
Plant layout should be designed in accordance with the transportation needs, facilitate movement of workers, facilitate the installation of electricity, compressed air installations, and plant efficiency

Manufacturing Waste in Storage Transfer

In certain cases, where in one plant has multiple products, and certainly at the plant have more than one warehouse. If the product is made has some similarities or sometimes almost the same raw material used also has the same characteristics. So frequent exchange of materials between warehouses with one warehouse to another. If one runs out it will be filled by the existing stock in warehouse to another.

Transfers between warehouses is the one who will become a serious problem. Stock transfer as in in the principle of lean manufacturing must be minimized if possible eliminated because it would add to the burden of the company. Expenses for the time used for the transport process both labor and fuel used for transportation.

Carrying of Unnecessary Articles

It should work in accordance with existing procedures; the goods are moved or transported on existing work instructions at each work location. However, in certain circumstances there may be events outside of normal circumstances, the goods that are not needed must also be taken, whether conscious or no. For that to be seen the flow of these goods in order to capture and expenditure of the warehouse store in accordance with the schedule and procedures are working.

The possibility of carrying unnecessary articles caused by some factors:
1. Production is too dense. In these circumstances all the operator needs super-fast movement to offset solid production. In that capacity maximum production machine will be run with full formation, so that the materials must be provided quickly to compensate for engine speed.

Identification of "Carrying wastage"

Plant efficiency problems are complex and not as though there will be endless, if we trace in detail the activities of manufacturing has a side that charges against the company's costs but if we are observant then all forms of corporate expenses due to production activity can be minimized gradually.

So it is with carrying wastage, without realizing it also affects the timely delivery of time (Just-In-Time-JIT), which ultimately also affect the high production cost. Many activities are carried out everyday which is a waste. Starting from shipping, store activity, production and other activity. All these activities are mostly wasted in the sense that if it changed its management will be able to reduce the waste that exists. Activities move goods from one place to another does require special handling and standardization are clear. If there are accumulated a lot of moving goods and even thousands of activities conducted by the workers and of course thousands of kilometers of distance covered after moving goods from one place elsewhere. If you can cut off half of it then the savings can be achieved in large numbers.

Visualize the 5S Improvement with Photos

Every time there is improvement, the image must be created and installed near the last photo to show the chronological series of improvements. If the date of the upcoming shooting events have been notified and recorded clearly in the chart (photos posted on the bulletin board.) This will be the goal and will help increase the desire of workers to continue to show improvement till that date. These charts are also used by supervisors for assessment.

Photography is a great incentive for workers and allow management to continue improvement activities effectively. Through portraits of activity, workers can see first hand his skills with a sense of pride or shame. Awareness that improvement is necessary is a spontaneous reaction to an embarrassing photograph. Conversely, if the portrait of activities shows that the regulations have been implemented 5S, workers have set a good example and a role model for her coworkers.
