Lean MAST
Tools for Integrating Lean
Projects
Lean MAST Overview
Lean MAST provides the roadmap for the
transformation from a work order based
production system to a production system
that utilizes lean manufacturing
techniques. The Lean MAST roadmap
has resulted with many successful lean
transformations.
Lean MAST Road Map
Leadership Module
Focuses on management and its role in the transition of Lean
Manufacturing.
Engineering Module
Software modeling that establishes an engineered solution for
Lean Manufacturing.
Transition Module
A step-by-step procedure for the conversion from a work order
base production system to a Lean Manufacturing operation.
Continuous Improvement Module
Provides techniques needed in the day-to-day operation of Lean
Manufacturing.
Flow Route
Modeling begins with the flow route feature
for each product. Centers are designated in
the column and precise time is recorded for
each product.
Cost Data
The cost data feature calculates actual cost per
product and adjust for efficiency and capital
cost.
Part Details
The production includes hours per day and number
of days, along with production volume for each
product. Each product is assigned to an inventory
class for Kanban configuration.
Layout
The layout
feature
imports CAD
drawing of the
factory floor.
Each work
center located
with a point
and click
interface.
Workcenter Details
The Workcenter feature is used to define labor teams and
assign the teams to the stations/flow centers, set the
number of stations/machines in each flow center, and set
up time and workcenter designation
Visual Route
The visual route is a graph of product flow
through the factory.
Capacity
The capacity screen
shows target
production rate and
corresponding labor
and work center
utilization. It also
estimates inventory
and flow time for
each inventory class
used for setting
Kanban sizes.
Simulation
The simulation is
a simulated
event analysis of
the factory flow
operations.
Benefits of Lean MAST
Lean MAST provides objective analysis in
finding the “best solution” for lean applications.
The “best solution” includes a combination of
machines, operators, inventory, and processes
that work with lean manufacturing.
The use of Lean MAST leads to consensus.
Having the project team “on the same page” is
essential for a successful transformation.
Target Users/Applications
Lean MAST is designed as a tool for Black
Belt professionals and project managers
responsible for implementing Lean
Manufacturing.
No training is required to use this software.
Lean MAST is the tool for getting your lean
sigma project started!
