Issues

Embarking on a journey to craft a comprehensive literature review on lean manufacturing and its
associated research issues is no small feat. It requires a meticulous approach, deep understanding of
the subject matter, and an extensive review of existing literature. The process can be daunting, often
leaving researchers feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about where to begin.

One of the primary challenges lies in sifting through a vast array of scholarly articles, books, journals,
and other academic resources to identify relevant information. The sheer volume of material
available can be intimidating, making it difficult to determine which sources are most credible and
valuable to include in the review.

Furthermore, synthesizing the findings from diverse sources into a cohesive narrative requires
analytical skills and critical thinking. Researchers must not only summarize the key points of each
source but also analyze and evaluate the methodologies, results, and implications presented in the
literature.

Another obstacle researchers often encounter is staying current with the latest developments and
trends in lean manufacturing research. The field is constantly evolving, with new studies, theories,
and methodologies emerging regularly. Keeping pace with these advancements while maintaining the
integrity of the literature review can be challenging.

currently unavailable. This study is fully based on literature review of various research publications in
context of lean manufacturing system. This review aims to examine this impact on the performance
of manufacturing companies, to emphasize the recent progress of LM amongst SMEs worldwide,
and to show that most successful LM initiatives are those implemented in SMEs and large
companies. The operational performance, in terms of three key dimensions of cost, quality and lead
time, is compared before and after the implementation of the LM program. Achieving operational
excellence with jit (just in time). These findings have significant implications for improving
manufacturing organizations' operational and business performance through lean manufacturing
strategies. Analyses of the exploratory survey results are summarized in this paper to illustrate the
implementation sequence of lean elements in volatile business environment and the finding of this
review was synthesized to develop a unified theory for implementation of lean elements. Another
feature of lean manufacturing that was emphasized in literature is its time-frame of implementation.
Lean manufacturing is plethora of principles that focus on cost reduction by identifying and
eliminating non value added activities. Narkhede Today, principles and practices of Lean
manufacturing are widely used by industries to eliminate waste and make the process more efficient.
Furthermore, Karlsson and Ahlstrom (1996) declared the use of autonomous defect control (poka
yoke) as inexpensive means to help conducting inspection of all units with the ultimate goal of zero
defects. Lean Manufacturing System if studies in Indian context may provide good opportunity to
Indian manufacturers to combat competitive pressure. Lean is one of them it means using only what
is necessary. All the aforementioned features of lean manufacturing can be captured in the following
proposed conceptual definition. Initiative of lean manufacturing aims on reduction of cost and
turnover increases by methodically eradicating non-value-added actions on continuous basis. For
performing efficiently with higher productivity there are so many tools and techniques. In the same
context, Shah and Ward (2007) asserted that to pursue lean production, firms have to effectively
manage their social and technical systems simultaneously. We have chosen a combination of value
stream mapping (VSM), 5S, kanban, kaizen, poka-yoke, and visual controls to improve the
processes. Lean manufacturing utilizes a wide range of tools and techniques; the choice of tools is
based on the requirement. Download Free PDF View PDF Lean manufacturing practices in textile
industries - a case study Azhar Sohail Lean manufacturing is a philosophy of eliminating waste
through continuous improvement. Moreover, if continuous flow is not possible (Lummus et al.,
2006), the way of scheduling the flow of material should be pull instead of push (Motwani, 2003
and Dahlgaard and Dahlgaard-Park, 2006). Several researches emphasized the significant role that
suppliers can play when involved in quality improvement programs (Panizzolo, 1998, Shah and
Ward, 2007, Papadopoulou and A-zbayrak, 2005 and Motwani, 2003). The scenario resulted with
varying leanness measures in order to measure lean practices. The ultimate goal is to produce perfect
value to the customer through an ideal value creation methodology that has zero waste. However,
there are two problematic issues regarding lean manufacturing have been addressed in several
studies. Papadopoulou and A-zbayrak (2005) affirmed that transformation to lean requires a lot of
effort, time and participation of all organization levels in addition to make changes in company
culture and organizational structure. In general, McKone et al. (1999) highlighted the importance of
on-time delivery (JIT14) to customers as an indicator of the JIT concept implementation. Lean
manufacturing is plethora of principles that focus on cost reduction by identifying and eliminating
non value added activities.
The paper proposes an approach which emphasizes to response customer requirement and increase
customer satisfaction. This paper provides the literature survey on lean tools and lean implementation
technique of implementing lean manufacturing. Lean Manufacturing (LM) has been widely
perceived by industry as an answer to these requirements because LM reduces waste without
additional requirements of resources. Likewise, Andersson et al. (2006) underscored that the
elimination of non-value-adding elements (waste) is a process of continuous improvement. Any
organization whether manufacturing or service oriented to survive may ultimately depend on its
ability to systematically and continuously respond to these changes for enhancing the product value.
Organizations which implemented lean manufacturing have higher level of flexibility and
competitiveness. Lean manufacturing or lean manufacturing is a manufacturing practice that
emphasizes on the use of resources for work which add value for the end customer. The technique
not only identifies the reasons for waste but also helps in its removal through marked principles and
guidelines. Waste is anything other than the minimum amount of equipment, materials, parts, and
working time that are essential to add value (Taj, 2008, Bonavia and Marin, 2006 and Karlsson and
Ahlstrom, 1996). Continuous performance measurement matrices in terms of efficiency and
effectiveness are proved to be appropriate methods for continuous evaluation of lean performance.
Moreover, McKone et al. (1999) declared that employees are the greatest sources of information for
companies to improve their performance. The achievement potential scores before and after lean
implementation has been highlighted using radar diagrams. The findings of this study reveal that a
thorough analysis of the process, setup, and changeover time (CO), use of colour coding for
identification of volume-mix, use of kaizen and quality circles which empower the workforce, are
some of the various keys to a successful lean implementation in a textile industry. Panizzolo (1998)
emphasized the attention that has been devoted to the relationships between product development
and manufacturing activities. Therefore, the percentage of inspection carried out by autonomous
defect control (TQM6) is a common measure (Sanchez and Perez, 2001 and Karlsson and Ahlstrom,
1996). The fiercely globalized and competitive markets of 21st century demand for increasing high
variety of products at lowest possible costs, lesser lead time and high quality. Later on lean was
formulated and developed as the solution to the fluctuating and competitive business environment.
Lean manufacturing or lean manufacturing is a manufacturing practice that emphasizes on the use of
resources for work which add value for the end customer. In accordance, a variety of surveys
conducted in different types of industry (Soriano-Meier and Forrester, 2002, Bonavia and Marin,
2006, Doolen and Hacker, 2005, Sanchez and Perez, 2001 and Taj, 2008) proved that lean is widely
successful in a variety of industrial sectors. At the end of the assessment stage Lean tools and
concepts for fixing the problems were proposed, like new rules for production planning, setups
procedures, 5S toll usage and a Lean implementation plan that is adapted to the company. However,
lean manufacturing provides an environment that is highly conducive to waste minimization.
Accordingly, they considered the percentage of stages in the material flow that uses pull (JIT6) as a
determinant of the change towards this practice. Cua et al. (2001) and McKone et al. (1999)
emphasized the importance of equipment layout to facilitate low inventories (JIT1) and fast
throughput (i. e. shorten lead time (JIT3)). Lean Manufacturing System if studies in Indian context
may provide good opportunity to Indian manufacturers to combat competitive pressure. Similarly,
Taj (2008) confirmed that lean as a way of thinking creates a culture in which everyone in the
organization continuously improve operations. Download Free PDF View PDF See Full PDF

Furthermore, since the change towards JIT production and delivery is made gradually (Sanchez and
Perez, 2001), the proportion of products transferred just-in-time between production stages (JIT15)
and that delivered just-in-time by suppliers (JIT16) should be measured. Table 3. 2 summarizes the
indicators developed to assess changes towards implementing the previously discussed JIT practices.
It is developed from a set of tools and techniques and can fit nicely in cost focus or cost leadership
competitive advantage strategies. Due to rapid change in business environment the manufacturing
organization are forced to face challenges and complexities in the competition. Reducing set-up times
simultaneously with reducing lot sizes is a technique used to reduce inventories and also it
contributes to the reduction of lead times (Sanchez and Perez, 2001) and increasing flexibility
(Karlsson and Ahlstrom, 1996). It was found that lean principles are good source of competitive
advantage, it is applicable for many industries and its expansion and discussion are significantly
progressing.
Lean manufacturing utilizes a wide range of tools and techniques; the choice of tools is based on the
requirement. However, there are two problematic issues regarding lean manufacturing have been
addressed in several studies. A total of 209 research papers have been reviewed for the research
contribution, research methodology adopted. This study has been carried out within the field of lean
production. In the paper has been presented the bases of Lean Manufacturing. TPM, according to
McKone et al. (1999), provides a comprehensive company-wide approach to maintenance
management which is usually divided into short-term and long-term elements. The fiercely

literature review and research. Though the concept of lean manufacturing has shown good results in
continuous process industry, it has not been extensively used as compared to discrete manufacturing
industries. The Lean manufacturing approach is meant to transform non-value added activity into
value added activity. Lean manufacturing or lean manufacturing is a manufacturing practice that
emphasizes on the use of resources for work which add value for the end customer. TQM bundle
Lack of quality is a major source of waste, since the defective parts and products that need to be
reworked or scrapped do not add any value to the customer and should be eliminated in order to
attain high productivity (Karlsson and Ahlstrom, 1996). In total 300 questionnaires were distributed
among 185 companies and a total of 107 with a response rate of 35.6 percent. Findings: The
statistical analysis obtained from structural equation modeling found that lean manufacturing
practices can explain operational performance, however, were unable to benefit overall business
performance. Organizations which implemented lean manufacturing have higher level of flexibility
and competitiveness. The research will be developed through case study, we intend to analyse the
reality of the organization. Rekayasa proses bisnis dapat memangkas 1490 menit pada proses bisnis
