Lean 5S Station
Four tools scattered on the bench are set back in order into their shadow-board outlines, and the one outline left empty lights up as the tool that is missing.

Lean
15 animationsLean Changeover
Two blocks of setup work slide out of the machine-down window into the running time either side, the window brackets close in and the downtime measure halves.
CSSLean Defect Escape
A flawed unit travels forward through two more process steps before the inspection gate catches it and walks it back up the rework route to the first station.
CSSLean Heijunka Box
Cards clumped as batches in the first two pitch columns of the levelling box spread out into a repeating mix that fills every column evenly.
CSSLean Inventory
Work in progress queues up in the gap between two process boxes and the days-on-hand bar beneath stretches with every unit that arrives.
CSSLean Kanban Card
A card lifts off the consuming station, runs the return loop back to the supplier's slot and authorises exactly one replacement unit to cross the material line.
CSSLean Motion
Inside one station the reach swings out to the far bin and back three times to finish a single unit, the build bar under the bench gaining a quarter on every return.
CSSLean Over-Processing
A finishing tool keeps sweeping the part after the dashed spec line has been met, and the finish gauge beside it climbs on past tolerance with every extra pass.
CSSLean Overproduction
A station pushes finished units into a column faster than the dashed demand line consumes them, and the stack climbs three bands clear of demand before draining.
CSSLean Spaghetti Diagram
A long wandering travel path weaving between the cells of a layout sweeps away and collapses into one short direct route between the same two points.
CSSLean Supermarket
The consumer withdraws the front unit of a supermarket lane, the stock behind slides forward a pitch and the supplier pushes a replacement into the empty back slot.
CSSLean Takt Time
Five station cycle bars stand against the dashed takt line and the one breaching it sheds two slices of work to its neighbours until every bar sits under takt.
CSSLean Transport
A unit is routed the long way round the layout between two stations, its dog-leg accruing leg by leg while the short direct link between them stays unused.
CSSLean Value Stream
A unit flows through three process boxes with inventory triangles in the gaps while the lead-time ladder beneath accrues, its short value-adding steps reading against the long waits.
CSSLean Waiting
The downstream lane's hatched idle span runs on while the upstream step is still processing, and clears into work the moment the unit finally drops in.
