most of the English publications about the Toyota Production System” (The Lean Thinker, 2010). There are several definitions for cycle time, but for a fitness application it would be beneficial to use the machine cycle time. “Machine cycle time, which is the start-to-start time of a machine and is used to balance to a manual work cycle and, in conjunction with the batch size, is a measure of its theoretical capacity” (The Lean Thinker, 2010). Unlike cycle time, takt time is a calculation that is required

(Camry) had an excellent manufacturing system that contains high production standard that is Single Piece Flow, which was defined as a process in which all works on a single product (the Camry) is completed before moving onto the next unit (Mazanec, 2016). However, the traditional manufacturer still used batch & queue production such as The Swiss Army alarm clock, hence entire processes cause the costs of time, labor and resource increasing (Lutz, 2011). The key goal of lean transformation is to optimize

BOEING LEAN: Boeing made use of lean techniques in their production system and increased its production by 50% and also reduced its floor space by 40%. Assembling a Boeing 737 is a typical job. Workers should take 367,000 parts, an same number of bolts, rivets, other equipment and 36 miles (58 kilometres) of electrical wire and then keep them all combined to make an airplane [2]. Engineers to machinists were involved in lean (reducing waste) in the factory. By creating an assembly line, aircraft
