The Lean Kitchen is based on the Japanese TPS (Toyota Production System) system that increases productivity, efficiency and effectiveness within the kitchens. One of the principles of this philosophy is to identify the problem, optimizing resources to reduce waste, that is, lean manufacturing, in terms of eliminating bottlenecks and gaps. This article brings the theme of Lean Kitchen, to increase productivity, efficiency and effectiveness within the kitchens, as well as the concept of value, in terms of how much the customer is willing to pay. Therefore, the objective is to apply the lean concept within its outsourced industrial restaurants. Restaurants respond to variations in demands and varieties of service, however, as in any process, there are several problems that need to be meticulously detected in order to heal them. Literature based on Lean philosophy and the case study and metrics were used, such as: Visit to the Gemba reports; information collections; check-list application; problem identification; Brainstorming (team and leadership); Dynamics of engagement with team and leadership; visual communication application, feedback schedule with customers; Tools (5s; Pareto, Ishikawa, 5W2H; PDCA).

The World

The development of the Toyota Production System (TPS) based on principles of lean technology has especially impressed numerous manufacturers around the world. It attaches remarkable importance to reducing and then eliminating waste and focusing on added-value activities. Lean technology is growing in important and scope because they help companies become more competitive and streamlined at a time when competitive and cost reduction pressures have intensified. Accordingly, a studied furniture company intends to transform its shop floor first to lean system. It is really an interesting and practical case study, so this paper presents an implementation of lean technology in an in-plant manufacturing system through a systematic way, step by step. It could be considered as a reference of an implementation of the lean technology.

Level Of Satisfaction

This paper presents a case study on a research framework of gap analysis on audit systems for a standard called IATF 16949 and Toyota Production System (TPS) in the automotive industry. A study was carried out to define the gaps that are currently being faced in this industry. A comparison and contrast for an audit process flow chart was plotted and showed that there are processes have similar audit objectives, same auditees and involved with the same documents to be audited. Meanwhile, 5M (Man, Machine, Method, Material, Measurement and) 1 E (Environment) methodology were used to study audit requirements for both IATF 16949 and TPS and showed that both systems share the same audit items. Rasch model was used to measure the level of satisfaction, difficulties, and challenges faced by the people in the industry. By reducing the few steps in implementing the internal audit, it is expected to minimize the “wastes” that occurred during the execution of both audit systems. This case study has proposed that the integration of audit system of the IATF 16949 and TPS will harmonize the systems and reduce the hassle faced by the people in the industry.
