Work Flow and Work Design Workshop by Professor John Sharp COrE Research Group, University of Salford, UK www.ipamc.org Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK
“Work Flow and Work Design”
Introducing Lean • • • •
Workflow comes from Lean Therefore we need an overview of: Lean principles Lean maintenance tools (covered in yesterday’s workshop) • Processes (process mapping) • Then we can apply them for work flow and work design www.ipamc.org Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK
“Work Flow and Work Design”
What is lean ? Lean manufacturing is the reduction in the time from customer order to manufacturing and delivery of products by elimination of non-value added waste in the production stream. Key points: – One-piece flow – Continuous improvement Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK

Lean Principles 5. Perfection
1. Specify Value
4. Pull
3. Creating Flow
2. Identify value stream
www.ipamc.org Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK
“Work Flow and Work Design”
Lean maintenance tools • 5S process • Elimination of 7 deadly wastes (7Mudas) • Kaizen (continuous improvement) & Poka Yoke • Jokoda (quality at the source) • JIT (Just In Time) & TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) www.ipamc.org Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK
“Work Flow and Work Design”
5S is a systematic common sense approach to good house keeping to have a neat, clean, tidy and safe work place

7 Mudas – “Waste” Any activity which consumes resources but does not create value. • • • • • • •
Searching Delays Unnecessary movement of resources and material Defects Over processing Over producing Storing inventory/work in progress
Lean = creation of more value with fewer resources. www.ipamc.org Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK

Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK What adds value in your organisation? “Work Flow and Work Design”
Lean maintenance tools
• Kaizen (continuous improvement, Plan do check act) • Poka Yoke (mistake proofing) • Jokoda (quality at the source) • JIT (Just In Time) • TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) www.ipamc.org Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK
“Work Flow and Work Design”
Total Productive Maintenance • Achieving overall effectiveness of the production system by involving all workers in the process of actively maintaining equipment. • This process involves cleaning, inspection, restoration, redesign to improve deterioration characteristics, preventative maintenance, condition based maintenance, maintenance prevention. www.ipamc.org Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK
“Work Flow and Work Design”
What is a Process ? Any activity or group of activities that takes An ‘input’, adds value to it, and provides an output to an internal or external customer Processes are at the heart of maintenance management. INPUT List - Resources -

We should manage our business (including) maintenance) through processes not departments !! www.ipamc.org Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK
“Work Flow and Work Design”
Process Mapping • Allows a team to identify the actual flow or sequence of events in a process that any product or service follows • Flowcharts can be applied to anything from the travels of an invoice to the steps in making a purchase or maintaining a piece of equipment (plant). www.ipamc.org Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK
“Work Flow and Work Design”
Process Mapping Symbols Task
Indicates a task (activity)
Decision No
Meeting
Indicates a meeting may span across several departments
Document
Indicates the preparation of a document or report
Task
Yes
Indicates a "yes/no" decision, where "yes" leads to one subsequent activity, "no" to another Used to indicate where others give support for an activity
End
Indicates the end of the process
A drop shadow on any symbols indicates that the item can be broken down into additional process steps

“Work Flow and Work Design”
www.ipamc.org
Work Flow • Flow is a method of organisation such that the task is worked on continuously, or alternatively as a system whereby the processing of material is continuous and progressive. • Aims to improve (i) work/material flow (ii) standardise skills (iii) added value/complete work faster • When a particular task is completed it must be passed directly to the next stage for processing. For flow to be smooth the times of the tasks should be of equal length. www.ipamc.org Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK
“Work Flow and Work Design”
For Flow to Work • • • • • • • • •
Constant demand Task should be standardised Materials must be to specification and delivered on time All operations comprising the task should be defined Work must conform to quality standards Correct equipment must be used Reliable plant Inspection “in line” Balance all stages www.ipamc.org Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK
“Work Flow and Work Design”
Apply Lean to create Flow • Identify and map the value stream. • Focus on the equipment as the product moves along the value stream. • Breakdown organisational boundaries that hinder flow. • Rethink all activities along the value stream so as to eliminate waste. • kaikaku - radical improvement • Kaizen (PDCA) - continuous incremental improvement www.ipamc.org Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK
“Work Flow and Work Design”
Work design Work design involves deciding what tasks to allocate to each person, what sequence to perform them, where to locate the job, who else should be involved in it, how people should interact with their workplace and their immediate work environment, what autonomy to give the staff and what skills to develop in the staff. Management Control
Staff Autonomy
www.ipamc.org Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK
“Work Flow and Work Design”
Work design Work design should meet the following objectives: • • • • • • •
Quality Speed Dependability Flexibility Cost Health and Safety (environment) Quality of working life. www.ipamc.org Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK
“Work Flow and Work Design”
Work design The following elements need to be considered : • • • • • • • •
What Tasks to be allocated (trade split v multiskill)? What sequence (process)? Where is job location? Who else involved? What equipment used in the job? What environmental conditions? How much autonomy? What staff skills?
• Best results when involved all employees involved in the work (tasks and activities within the process)

CONCLUSIONS Maintenance can be improved using lean principles thereby using work flow and work design to eliminate/reduce wasteful activities from all the maintenance processes. This leads to an improvement of service to customers (both internal and external) and demonstrates that maintenance adds value to the organisation. www.ipamc.org Professor John Sharp, University of Salford, UK
