Abstract In industrial manufacturing systems, high profit achievement aim considers financial performance under the use of scarce resources and limiting wastes require a systematic approach lean method. Inventory cost, idle time cost, material cost, rework cost rise with large-lot production and work pieces. Achieving economic lot requires setup activity effect. Setup activity effect consists of setup activity time. Setup activity time is production time of previous setup activity exact product to successive setup activity exact product. Manufacturing difficulties of many enterprises push them to demand lean manufacturing tools and develop new ways. Cellular manufacturing, Value stream mapping (VSM), Total productive maintenance (TPM) and Single minute exchange of dies (SMED) are vital lean manufacturing tools to separate Non-value added activities (NVA) and Value added activities (VA), and eliminate wastes. Many studies examined the first four lean manufacturing tool. In this study, scheduling of set-up tasks on SMED environment proposes to examine lead time reduction, lean production method and scheduling setup tasks of setup activity. Continuous improvement encourages setup workers and operators to involve frequent improvement. In the case of yarn processing, setup activity and setup task of machine assigned for jobs to reduce raw material and processing time waste.

Lean manufacturing is a management philosophy derived from Toyota Production System (TPS) which aims to increase the overall values of the product or service provided to the customer through elimination of non-value added activities. In the era of globalisation, to remain competitive in the global market, many medium and small sized Indian industries adopt lean manufacturing. This paper focuses on implementation of lean manufacturing in Indian MSMEs. To examine the implementation, attributes which influence lean manufacturing are obtained and industries’ performances on these criteria are rated. In this paper, the methodology selected from many of the multi criteria models is the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). In the actual real world situation, because of the unreliable nature of the information gathered, the attributes are often not absolute and are imprecise. These data can be considered as fuzzy and the aim of this paper is to adopt TOPSIS decision making method to problems with fuzzy data. The rating and weights of each data are expressed as triangular fuzzy numbers. These attributes are then normalized and the TOPSIS methodology is carried out to determine the effect of implementing lean manufacturing technique in an industry. The best industry is identified by fuzzy TOPSIS on the basis of performance towards the considered attributes is consistent with results identified by TOPSIS.

The lean manufacturing concept is a systematic minimization of waste and non-value activities in production processes introduced by the Toyota production system. In this research, lean manufacturing is implemented in a cement production line. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is applied to give a clear picture of the value chain in cement production processes and to highlight the non-value-added in the shop floor. To begin, the existing VSM is constructed based on the information and data gathered during visiting and observing the manufacturing process in the firm. As a result, the excess inventory between workstations was identified as a major waste generation, hence, the proposed VSM conducts further improvement and makes action plans to alleviate the unwanted activities. Then, the takt time to ensure smooth material flow and to avoid any occurring delay or bottleneck in the production line was figured out. The supermarket pull-based production control is suggested to be adopted in the future map. Two pull production strategies are selected in this case. The first is applying the Kanban system to control the level of inventory between workstations. The other is the CONWIP approach to control the amount of work in process to the entire production line. The outcome of the proposed models indicates a decrease of the none-value time from 23 days in the current state to about 4 and 2 days in Kanban and CONWIP systems respectively, so the CONWIP was suggested as most efficient. Some suggestions for further research are also mentioned.

Productivity is an important parameter for all small and medium scale manufacturing industries. Lean manufacturing emerged as production strategy capable of increasing productivity by identifying and eliminating non value added activities. This article deals with productivity improvement in a pre-assembly line of gearbox manufacturing company with a case study using lean concepts like process flow chart, process Gantt chart and time study. This paper illustrates using a case study on how a value stream mapping has to be carried out in a planet carrier pre-assembly line. Value stream mapping and work standardization are the key tools used in lean manufacturing and lean transformation. It makes the process smoother, helps in reduction of lead time and ultimately increasing the productivity. From the observed results it was found that, the productivity has been increased from 7 pieces to 10 pieces in the first step assembly when the proposed VSM was implemented. The second step processing time was reduced by the execution of proposed value stream mapping with TAKT time of 126 minutes and 165 minutes of processing time for demand of 10 pieces were achieved and the overall processing time has been reduced by about 24%.

PT PLB (pseudonym) is a company that produces household appliances and kitchen utensils. The country kettle is one type of product made by PT PLB. The productivity of the country kettle production line decreased by 56%. This was due to defective products. The largest percentage of defects in-country kettle products occurred in the spinning process of 40.18%. This study aimed to identify the causes of defects in-country kettle products and how to overcome them by designing improvement proposals. Lean manufacturing principles were used to evaluate the problems that occur. There were three types of lean manufacturing tools used in this study: Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and 5Ways. VSM was used to describe and identify value-added activities, non-value-added activities but necessary, and non-value-added activities so that the production process becomes lean. The root cause analysis was performed using the 5 Whys method. Unskilled workers and non-standard material types between suppliers are the highest contributors to defects in the spinning process. Based on this, this research was focused on improvements made in the spinning process. Proposals for improvements to the causes of the problems found are standardization of work procedures, standardization of supplier specifications, and arrangement of semi-finished goods and/or supplies. Based on the company's results, the proposed standardization of work procedures and arrangement of semi-finished goods and/or supplies may be implemented in the company. Meanwhile, the proposal for selecting suppliers is not feasible due to company limitations
