Production practices have had an important role in satisfying the dynamic market. Many approaches have being developed in order to respond effectively to specific business requirements. In fact, some areas of management have focused its study on the overseeing, designing, and controlling the process of production in an effort to find the best methodology that ensures the business success and performance. However, complexities arise in this field because many variables such as costs, inventory, scheduling, suppliers, etc have to be considered in any business. Lean approach and the traditional approach are two points of view that aim to address this complexities, and those will be examined in this essay.

Total Quality Management is a process that strives for complete satisfaction internally and externally. There are two popular methods used in today’s organizations, The Toyota Production System and the Six Sigma model. Toyota created its management system over the course of three decades. It is also known as lean manufacturing, which is in regards to limiting the amount of waste produced. This is not just physical waste but includes the management of time throughout the process, for example time waiting, conveyance,

This paper presents a relevant contribution for practitioners and managers to deal with the implementation of lean. It shows that through the effective use of available tools to measure the lean manufacturing implementation of the company. Lean methods are available for them to identify specific problems and opportunities to improve the lean practice implementation.

In order to achieve the goals, there are several tools and methods have been introduced in lean production. The tools and methods are including:

Lean is defines the manufacturing philosophy that reduces the time between the shipping and customer demand, which based on the systematic method by eliminating waste, that means giving the customer what they want when they want it, and don 't waste whatever. Rahmana, Sharif and Esa (2013) suggested lean production is mentioned to improve the company 's performance from the philosophy in reducing waste in order. That means, lean system destination is the decrease cost by removing the non-value activities, which they are applying a category of tools and techniques for checking and eliminating defective in the production process. In the Evenort Company should emulate the five overriding principles of lean thinking in terms of implementing lean that there is guarantee the company has been driving correctly in the lean manufacturing (Cardiff 2015) as can show in table 1.

A company realizes profits from two activities, increased sales units with reduction of costs. The stakeholders that allow a company to do this are the internal employees to the company, and the businesses the company partners within their product supply chain. Lean development methodologies are common in manufacturing due to the relentless focus on continuous improvement, and efficient manufacturing practices while

The current economic environment we are in, shared with increasing guidelines has placed manufacturers in the challenging position of having to reduce waste, improve processes, and increase productivity. Although lean manufacturing can well enough be the answer, some companies have found lean manufacturing implementation to be an ongoing battle. Which is not to say, however, that there have not been some major success stories. There are many obstacles to lean implementations.

This literature review aims to achieve insight into lean manufacturing and how it can be applied within a production environment. In today’s global market, it is important for maker withstand to remain competitive in their market and to understand the principles of lean manufacturing and the step tp implement them to ensure that they are on the leading edge of manufacturing. This literature review describes the lean concepts that are used in this project.

Now a day's global market in the world and all companies are looking up making new improvements that drive bottom line results. In that process all organizations and companies are turning to process improvement methodologies such as Lean six sigma (LSS). Continual improvement, as one of the objectives of a quality management system is achieved by the improvement of all processes and activities at a particular stage of the production cycle. Continual process improvement is also the only way how to survive and succeed among competitors. The management of the company will always be looking for opportunities that will enhance the effectiveness of the company’s processes. Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is one of the significant methodologies of quality management, this seeks to increase productivity and improve quality of process outputs. As a customer oriented managerial strategy, it emphasizes that imperfection is an opportunity for improvement. The Lean Six Sigma (LSS) system helps to effectively reduce any defective process, it improves the quality of the provided services

Companies compete with others across global market to gain competitive advantage. Customers desire high quality products which meet their specification at reasonable price. Customers want manufacturers to meet their demands, and they switch to different brands if their needs are unmet. Thus, manufacturers are looking for ways to speed up their process and at same time achieve highest level of customer satisfaction. Lean methodology is one of the ways by which manufacturers can achieve the same.

This paper presents a review of the use of Lean Production in a process plant. It defines lean production as a process putting into consideration the history and the reason it was formulated. It also considers the application, benefits and the barriers to the effective maximization of the process.

“The Machine that Changed the World” guides the reader through the fascinating story about lean production and Manufacturing system that results in a better and more cost efficient product, higher productivity and greater customer loyalty. It tells about how critical the use of efficient team work, good communication and efficient use of resources are to produce remarkable results with cars 1/3 less defects and half the

The purpose of supply chain management is to manage the flow of goods and services from the procurement of raw material to the point of consumption. Furthermore, it deals with the storing of material, production, and distribution of a product that will maximize customer value and give a company a competitive advantage of the competition. Applying lean gives a company the ability to focus on constraints in the system that inhibit efficient product flow, eliminate waste and improve productivity and quality. For this to be successful its imperative companies seek to include suppliers, distributors and logistics into the process because lean requires integration, coordination and collaboration across the organization and throughout the supply chain (Agus & Hajinoor, 2012). As a result of increased transparency, companies will be more focused on performance and this will create a collective effort to reduce cost by eliminating waste and increasing productivity. Beyond the efforts to eliminate waste lean looks to incorporate customer value from the customers perspective. Simply, everything that is being done that ensures customer satisfaction is a value added step and any activity that fails to achieve customer satisfaction, which is something their willing to pay for, is a non-value added step and should be eliminated from the process. By simply knowing the process and eliminating

Lean manufacturing is a method of carefully reducing non-value-adding work during production. Value is defined from customer’s perspective as any action or process that the customer will be willing to pay for. Lean manufacturing has been traced to automobile industry – Ford motors in the United States and Toyota motors in Japan(Singh et al., 2010a; Singh et al., 2010b). These companies simplified the processes of making their products by eliminating non-adding-value works. This also led to standardization.

“In academia, the majority of the operations management literature focuses on the application of lean manufacturing in large discrete organizations (Moreno-Luzon, 1993). [3] Few academic articles even started to raise interests over the straightforward application of lean manufacturing in processing industries (Abdulmalek and Rajgopal, 2007 &; Melton, 2005) [4]. The specific characteristic of goods and/or processes in processing industries offers a great demand to the application of lean manufacturing” (Abdulmalek et al., 2006; Van Donk and Van Dam, 1996) [5].
