Literature Review Introduction The purpose of this literary 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

Eiji and his production genius, Taiichi Ohno, determined that the same mass production system would not work in japan. Taiichi Ohno already knew that workers were his most valuable resource. In the years to come, Ohno and his team developed activities to fully involve team members in enhancement an utterly novel idea. The Toyota production System, or Lean production, was the ultimate solution to Toyota’s problems (Dennis,2007). Over next 30 years, Taiichi Ohno solved numerous problems related to

thoroughly seeks to achieve small, incremental changes in processes in order to improve efficiency and quality. The theory was first established between 1948 and 1975 by Taiichi Ohno and Shigeo Shingo the two Japanese engineers (Arnheiter and Maleyeff, 2005). But the method was initially found in the works of Henry Ford, who “Ohno greatly appreciated and studied Ford because of his accomplishments and the reduction of waste at early Ford assembly plants” (Arnheiter and Maleyeff, 2005). Thus Lean management

the "Toyota Production System". A man by the name of Taiichi Ohno is credited as the person who first came up with this system. He looked at the Western industries and found that the manufacturers would set up their manufacturing lines to produce a large quantity of one product before stopping and and switching to a different product. They also would order and stock an overabundance of inventory so that the right parts were always on hand. Ohno did not feel that this would not work in a nation that

process can lead to discovery of its scope for improvement. Opportunities of improvement always exist in complex processes like the ones that occur in the construction industry. Yet, they are not acted upon because they are not always discovered. Taiichi Ohno had a solution for this, which was to “lower the river to reveal the rocks”, which implies that the buffers of a system, like time, capacity, inventory, and money must be decreased in order to find where variability lies. Opportunities of improvement

The basic concepts involved in lean and lean manufacturing was originated from The Toyota, one of the Japanese automaker in the global competition since decades. In 1988, Taiichi Ohno brought the lean concept into operation for the first time at Toyota and called it as Toyota Production System (TPS), to overcome economic crisis due to World War II. TPS was mainly developed to flourish with minimum resources. Owing to the immense shortages of material, human and financial resources, TPS had no other

Ans: Toyoda Kiichiro had established Toyota. At the point when Toyota began as a vehicles organization it at first centred on large scale manufacturing to pick up economies of scale. Be that as it may, as per Ohno Taiichi, a mechanical designer who joined Toyota around then guaranteed that large scale manufacturing makes enormous inventories that are to be put away in the distribution centre which in turns builds the stockroom upkeep cost as a tremendous measure of capital is connected with these

Ford. Unlike, mass production: “Ohno placed a cord above every work station and instructed worker to stop the whole assembly line immediately if a problem emerged that they couldn’t fix” (56). In the mass production, if the problem occurred, and no one paid attention to it while the production process, then the car company had to fix the errors in all the vehicles that had been produced no matter how large the quantity was. In the lean production of vehicles: “Ohno instead instituted a system of problem-solving

Lean Manufacturing Concept Background Along with the change in times and technological and diversification enterprises flourishing, Enterprises face the low cost production in developing countries and globalization competition, to consolidate market position and sustainable operation and development, the enterprises and manufacturer must have to strengthen the production management and production technology system, otherwise it is difficult to profit for enterprises and manufacturer to foothold
