Lean manufacturing

Introduction Lean manufacturing is an incorporated socio-technical framework, which involves a bundle of administration practices that can be connected to dispose of the waste and diminish the variability of suppliers, clients and inside assets and procedures (Anvari, Zulkifli, Yusuff, Ismail, & Hojjati, 2011) Lean manufacturing idea has been broadly acknowledged in the administration and assembling businesses. Various written works have explored the Lean advantages and applications. The term Lean was initially

would need to improve its manufacturing process. Consequently, the company developed Toyota’s lean manufacturing process, which is still used today. The LMP was used to eliminate waste in the entire production process to become more responsive to market demand and produce high quality products economically. In order to provide superior products, Toyota implemented many revolutionary strategies. For example, the company started, or invented, the Just-in-Time Manufacturing process. The JIT process,

Lean Manufacturing Avery Mitchell - R00096646 “It’s not necessary to change, survival is not mandatory” - Demming Lean manufacturing a systematic approach to doing more with less. In other words, Lean, is a method of increasing the amount of a manufacturer’s output, while reducing the amount of resources put in. Lean is of great interest to manufacturers around the world.

LEAN MANUFACTURING Origins of Lean Lean originally originated from Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) (McCarthy, 2015) in the early 1900’s however it wasn’t until the Toyota family introduced the Toyota Production System (TPS) into their company manufacturing operations that it began to gain recognition. In the 1950’s, Toyota first implemented quality measures within the production lines process and hence the initial stages of continuous improvement. Taiichi Ono, who was the executive vice president

INTRODUCTION Quality in manufacturing has become an integral part of the production process and lean manufacturing.

1) INTRODUCTION: Lean manufacturing is a method of reducing waste (muda) in the manufacturing system. It also considers the waste due to overload and waste dude to over burden. Lean manufacturing also best known as Toyota production system or kaizen production system. Although the Toyota production system was introduced more than a century ago it has continue to develop over time. It was practiced by the Henry Ford for the manufacturing of Ford model T which was very successful between the years

“Lean manufacturing is the pursuit and elimination of waste that simultaneously embodies respect for people” (Hansen and Mowen 6). Key purposes of lean manufacturing are to eliminate waste, reduce costs, and to maximize customer value. As companies try to cut down on the amount of waste they produce, their goal is to maximize their efficiency and cut the costs that are incurred. Lean manufacturing is described as, “delivering the right product, in the right quantity, with the right quality, at the

three methods are designed to manage different aspects of a manufacturing facility’s product flow but all three were ultimately developed as an optimization strategy for the manufacturing process. The roots of Lean Manufacturing is one of the earliest management strategies to be developed to address the challenges for production control and may well have been the birth of strategic production control as we know it today. LEAN MANUFACTURING At the end of the 18th century Benjamin Franklin wrote about
