TIMWOOD
10 Core Principles
Zero Defects
Standards and Methods
Key Takeaways
100

The "D" in TIMWOOD stands for

What is Defects

100

The rate at which you need to produce to meet your customer demand

What is Takt

100

The most basic cause that, when fixed, will prevent the problem’s recurrence

What is Root Cause

100

Sort and Set are elements of this foundational process

What is 5-S

100

Within a process, these kill flow

What are Decisions

200

This waste is caused by disorganization, poor work sequence, poor process or poor layout

What is Motion

200

Taking ownership, dealing with abnormalities and not walking past problems are all concepts within this principle

What is On-The-Spot-Responsibility

200

This action is intended to eliminate a root cause from recurring 

What is Corrective Action

200

This metric measures how well we manage the time we have available

What is Utilization

200

We need to shift the _______ , to achieve our annual goals and mission

What is Paradigm

300

This waste is caused by unnecessary movement of parts, double-handling of materials, or shuffling of inventory to get access to the right components

What is Transportation

300

Removing waste, reducing non-value added and challenging value added activities is the basis of this principle

What is Zero Waste

300

By repeatedly asking this question, it’s possible to learn a process or discover a root cause 

What is Why (5-Why's)

300

This metrics measures how capable we are at achieving the “ideal time”

What is Efficiency 

300

This philosophy is used to systematically eliminate waste

What is Lean

400

This waste is the "best waste" and the easiest to reduce or eliminate

What is Waiting

400

This principle uses Visual Factory and 5-S to make abnormalities apparent

What is Transparency 

400

This will potentially stop a production system

What is a Defect

400

This eliminates tribal knowledge, reduces variation within a process and provides a baseline for continuous improvement

What is Standard Work (tWO, eWO, Work Instructions, etc.)

400

Transportation, Inventory, Motion, Waiting, Over-processing, Overproduction and Defects can be summarized as this

What are the 7-Wastes 

500

This waste occurs when you are doing more work than required to meet specification

What is Over-Processing

500

This reveals errors within the system/process

What is Flow

500

This concept plugs holes or prevents alignment within the system or process

What is Error Proofing (Swiss Cheese Model)

500

Use this concept to divide work evenly across multiple work stations to maximize output and achieve takt

What is Line Balancing

500

The concept of identifying and eliminating waste while incrementally improving processes 

What is Continuous Improvement
