A Review on Lean Manufacturing Implementation Tools
No full textLean Manufacturing is a systematic approach to identifying and reducing the wastes present in a production system. According to Lean Thinking there are mainly seven wastes. Lean principles are derived from Japanese manufacturing industry. Toyota was the first company which implemented the lean manufacturing. Lean Manufacturing aims to increase productivity by simplifying operations and reducing the wastes from the system.Waste can be any activity which does not add value to the end product. There are many types of barriers and challenges in implementing lean. There have been many attempts in industry to implement lean manufacturing but very less of them has succeed. An attempt has been made to develop a lean route map for the industry to implement the lean manufacturing system in this paper.
GUIDING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS: A TOC APPROACH
No full textMany research has shown that approximately 70% of every medium to large scale industries have some type of quality improvement (QI) program. Depending on various independent studies, researchers have concluded that only onefifth of all QI projects show attractive output. The reason for this disappointing result is most of the QI programs are not result oriented. The main aim of this paper is to elaborate the value of using the Theory of Constraints (TOC), so that a result-oriented QI program can be achieved with a better bottom-line impact, which will be better than the traditional cost based selection process
INVENTORY CONTROL USING ABC AND HML ANALYSIS – A CASE STUDY ON A MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
No full textInherent uncertainties in demands and supply make it difficult for supply chains to achieve optimum inventory replenishment, resulting in loss of sales or keeping excessive inventories. An unkempt inventory can take up to one-third of an organization’s annual investment. Therefore, in order to compete with invariably erratic demands, it is not only challenging to develop an intelligent system to maintain and control an optimum level of inventory but has also become mandatory. Here we have tried to study the inventory control system of an EMU coach manufacturing industry using ABC and HML analysis method
