Introduction Lean Principles have been essential to numerous organisations all over the world for achieving outstanding results in terms of efficiency, quality and manufacturing times. Large organisations are especially acknowledged to implement lean principles successfully. However, in recent years small and medium sized enterprises have been in emphasis due to their flexibility and capabilities that provides the necessary robustness in the global economic crisis (Matt , 2007). Therefore, this paper
used a breakdown of production operations via the use of an assembly line (Dictionary). The system worked very well in lowering production cost so that more cars could become available to the average salary family (Winter, 1996) but this system led to over production [waste] and so in the 1980s the car industry began to use new manufacturing processes from japan [Toyota]. They used lean tools and a new way of thinking with people management to eliminate wastes and make the production of car more efficient
Definition Lean manufacturing is the process of eliminating waste in every area such as production, supply chain, maintenance, quality control and factory management. The ultimate goal of lean manufacturing is to decrease the human effort, inventory and time to meet the customer demand in the most efficient and possible economical manner. Lean manufacturing is referred to the methods of manufacturing that gives maximum value and minimum waste in the process that is followed. Lean manufacturing is
1. Traditional Operations The evolution of Lean production which can be also called Toyota Production system (TPS), manufacturing system introduced by automaker toyota, is contributed by two significant traditional method called Scientific management ( Taylorism ) and Mass manufacturing ( Fordism). Taylorism Scientific management or Taylorism advocated by Fred W. Taylor, states that the Production efficiency can be maximised by working closely with the workers. It involves fragmenting each task

concepts of waste, Lean Construction, Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma. It provides an explanation of the tools and techniques of Lean and Six Sigma from the literature study. It also provides the case studies and frameworks for implementation of Lean and Six Sigma in the construction industry by various authors. 2.2. LEAN CONSTRUCTION 2.2.1 Introduction Lean Construction is inspired from the Toyota Production. Toyota production provided the Transform -Flow –Value(TFV) philosophy of production in 1950’s.(Koskela
about the story of Lean Production, based on a five million dollar study about the future of the automobile done by the MIT Institute of Technology. “The Machine that Changed the World” is written as a summary of this research made by James. P Womack, Daniel T. Jones Daniel Roos and their team. The groundbreaking analysis is telling the story of how Japanese companies in the car industry are sweeping the world competition as they transfer from mass production to lean production. It takes the reader
Comparison of Lean Approach and Conventional Approach of Operations and Supply Chain Management ABSTRACT Operations and supply chain management is a concept that has flourished in domains such as manufacturing and express industry by offering a methodology to solve and relieve waste problems. There are two main approaches in operations and supply chain management: lean approach and conventional approach. In this assignment, I will compare the two approaches by summarizing their characteristics and

review is to achieve insight into lean manufacture and how it can be applied within a manufacturing environment. With global contention, it is important for maker to remain competitive in their respective marketplace and to understand the principles of lean manufacturing and the step to implement them to ensure that they are on the leading edge of manufacturing. This literary review describes the below mention principles. Birth place of lean and Origins of mass production Fred Winslow Taylor, a foundry
