Lean implementation in Manufacturing

Featured Replies

Hi all

Lean implementation is usually done by choosing one tool at a time and start implementing in one place and start another after some time. In my view this is not a correct approach

We need to identify the bottle neck area and change that area in to Completed lean rather than implementing lean one by one

agree, Lean managment in manufacturing is good tool for today time, we are very much cocern about lean activities.

Hello everyone,

I personally think Manufacturing is one of those sectors which have an obvious implementation of lean principles. Even simple methods like 5 S can bring wonderful efficiency in a process. 

Regarding Mr Ram's opinion, I think the selection of tools and pain/improvement areas depends on the extent of lean application. While some companies might like to apply lean methodologies around the conveyor belt processes, others might implemet Lean for backward and forward integration including stageslike procurement, inventory, transformation and Work In Progress. 

Therefore the application of lean principles and it's extent is very much subjective to management belief, production cycle and economies of scale. 

Kindly give your feedback and opinions.

Warm regards

I want to start Lean Implementation in my organization, having continuous line based production having frequent change-over.

As a Part of it I want to initiate 5S and Kaizen First,

My advice - you should attend our Lean Management Certification workshop to get clarity on these topics.

As per Lean Implementation is concerned, we have to identify the manual, mechanized process and its bottle neck,then we approach automation..where ever is applicable to minimum to maximum is the right choice is as per my knowledge,and experience is concern.
