Small Scale Industries

Purpose – A large number of small-scale industries have shown their existence in India, tough competition among them made the survival of small industries difficult. All facing problems like reduced production and poor quality. The case study presented in the paper deals with Kaizen implementation in a machine vice manufacturer company. Kaizen has tremendous impacts on the production techniques and lead times. Case study represented is to motivate practitioners for implementing Kaizen in small-scale industries of India. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology applied to implement the Kaizen in Indian small-scale industry. Fishbone diagrams have been used to represent cause and effects. The result has been shown as savings in terms of money and time. Findings – Processing time has been reduced by 44.4 percent and an amount of Rs. 64,000 has been saved by recovering a total of 80 square feet working area. Improvements in the form of work flow have been achieved. Research limitations/implications – Value stream mapping can be integrated with Kaizen for more reduction in the product lead time. Practical implications – The paper will be worthily for practitioners and consultants for understanding Kaizen implementation in small-scale industry of India. Originality/value – The paper yields lots of values for practitioners to understand the impacts and significance of the Kaizen in small-scale industries of India. Also it bridges the gap between theory and practical of Kaizen implementation in small-scale industry of India.

Manufacturing Applications

In recent times, lean manufacturing applications have become essential for manufacturers all over the globe. The manufacturers have gradually shifted from mass production to flexible manufacturing and customers are looking for customized and unique products. Productivity becomes a very important element with multiple product need. Passenger vehicle seat manufacturing industry is found to be poorly affected by manufacturing problems due to more cycle time, unbalanced workload and improper layout. The main aim of this paper is to study the existing system of a seat manufacturing industry and to improve productivity using lean methodology without much affecting current working systems. The critical non value added activities are identified and chances required for improvement has been recognized. The total lead time was reduced from 2.55 days to 2.438 days after implementation of applications of VSM. Using spaghetti diagram the current layout was optimized and the total cycle time was reduced by about 26.28% after implementing the proposed layout to meet the customer demand.

Equal Right

This study has taken position for developing of small-scale industry (SSI) is necessary strategy or market conduct policy and market performance. For that objective, the realization steps needed are: (a) re-examining about national development objective; (b) conducting political system restructurization that enable all people has equal right to participate in the economic sectors; (c) allocating and distributing economic resources and production facilities in equitable manner especially for rural people; and also (d) making more deep market penetration for goods and services of SSI through issuing inceptives and positive discrimination policies for SSI in supplying their production input, production process and marketing. Promotion intensification and nourishing cooperation with another kind of enterprise will be a beneficial.
