The study was conducted to investigate the level of implementation of lean manufacturing (LM) in Malaysian automotive industry. A number of survey methodologies were utilized to ensure reliability of the results of this study. Thirteen areas have been identified as typical workplaces implementing lean manufacturing. The study also investigated the benefits gained and obstacles faced by manufacturers in implementing the system. The frequency and tendency of applying lean tools in manufacturing environment have also been ranked.

Keeping up the quality level in in a manufacturing environment has become an issue when trying to start the production of a new product which is in a ramp-up stage into a running production line ramp-down model. If production of the old model is ended too fast will make shortages in the customer supply, and will have excessive inventory numbers of the newer product. Trying the re-design in a production line to keep building the old model while incorporating the newer tends to create an undesirable impact on quality and productivity. Nowadays, continuous improvement methodologies like Lean and Six Sigma are used to solve this challenge. While Lean Manufacturing tends to be efficient for quick fixes, Six Sigma works better when there is plenty of time to conduct deeper statistical analysis. This chapter describes a combination of Lean Manufacturing speed with the Six Sigma analysis' power. Combined to maintain the quality and productivity of a production process during such conditions.

This articleis a review of definitions and terminologies used in existing literatures related to application of Lean Systemin manufacturing environment. The article is made to provide clear insight and comparisons on various terms used incontemporary academicjournals, booksand published theseson the subject of Lean System.This review realizes that the term Lean Manufacturing was more popular among Malaysian and Asian countries, while Lean Production was mostly used by American scholars. From this review, readers also might learn that Lean System and Toyota Production System are not really the same system due to a missing principle. The presentreview is concluded with visual explanation regarding several major jargons in Lean System.

Lean Manufacturing is a method used to increased productivity and costs reduction by minimizing waste in the production process. This study describe the use of lean manufacturing with Single Minutes Exchange Of Dies tools on the PSR’s production floor in PT XYZ, which is engaged in automotive manufacture form making of car tires. Research stage begins by analyzing waste using mapping tool and identification causes of waste in workstation curing. The next stage is analyzing every step of machine setup that occurs are workpiece setup, mold setup, curing setup, and finishing setup. Based on observations, the amount of the initial state setup time is 194,05 minutes. The improvement begin by convert internal activities setup into external setup, reduction of operator displacement activity, elimination of adjusment, and apply a parallel operation by using two operators. So the total setup time can be reduced is equal to 127,41 minutes.Keyword :  Lean manufacture, SMED, Setup time, Workstation curing Lean Manufacturing merupakan metode yang digunakan untuk meningkatkkan produktivitas dan pengurangan biaya dengan cara meminimasi pemborosan dalam proses produksi. Penelitian ini menjelaskan penggunaan Lean Manufacturing dengan tool Single Minutes Exchange Of Dies (SMED) pada lantai produksi PSR di PT XYZ, yang bergerak dalam bidang Automotive Manufacture berupa pembuatan ban mobil. Tahap penelitian diawali dengan melakukan analisis waste dengan Mapping tools dilanjutkan dengan mengidentifikasi penyebab pemborosan pada workstation curing. Tahap Selanjutnya adalah menganalisis tahapan proses setup mesin curing yang terdiri dari setup benda kerja, setup mold, setup curing, dan setup finishing. Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan, jumlah waktu setup keadaan awal adalah 194,05 menit. Perbaikan yang dilakukan adalah dengan mengkonversi aktivitas internal setup menjadi eksternal setup, pengurangan aktivitas perpindahan operator, eliminasi adjusment, dan menerapkan operasi paralel yaitu dengan menggunakan 2 operator. Sehingga total waktu setup yang dapat direduksi adalah 127,41 menit.Kata kunci: Lean manufacture, SMED, Waktu setup, Workstation curing
