The present research featured the implementation of lean manufacturing based on project management technology. The research objective was to substantiate the possibility of using tools and methods of lean production at industrial enterprises. The study involved such scientific methods as participant and non-participant observation, statistical methods, process modeling, and survey. At industrial enterprises, lean production methods should be implemented as a project activity, i.e. in different business units and at different levels. To achieve total inclusiveness, managers should be trained in the basics of project, and all other employees – in the basics of lean production. Even separate projects of lean production can increase efficiency and labor productivity. However, the use of certain tools often becomes an end in itself, and not a way to solve the actual problems. Employees involved in lean manufacturing projects often lack awareness and motivation. Insufficient experience in independent project slows down the implementation of lean production projects. Nevertheless, the authors proved that lean production projects can be effective if implemented properly. They also identified some problems specific to industrial enterprises and outlined activities that can improve operational efficiency.

Subject. The article discusses the use of the lean production concept at the production enterprise. Objectives. We evaluate the existing lean production toolkit, determine opportunities for their implementation and possible difficulties. Methods. Methodologically, the study is based on the comparative analysis of methods that constitute the lean production system. Results. We review one of the economic security aspects for Russia, such as an increased production competitiveness due to the ubiquitous implementation and use of lean production instruments. We conducted an historical analysis of the origination and development of the production process approach. Some lean production tools and aspects were proved to have been designed and actively used in the USSR manufacturing sector since the 1960s. The lean production concept was found to become very appropriate for enterprises. We analyzed the continuing production planning system by A.S. Rodov, which were in use ans proved its high cost efficiency at the USSR industrial enterprises. We also delved into the profit generating production process that was put in place in Toyota. The article provides the comparative description of modern lean production methods and concludes on their future use. Conclusions. Having compared the Soviet lean production model and the classical Japanese one, we concluded on the use of such production process methods that really went beyond their time. In the mean time, the Soviet model was simpler to use and implement. Based on the overview of modern lean production tools that evolved from the Soviet and Japanese lean production theories, we believe that the lean production principles and methods will have a positive impact on the efficiency and competitiveness of the national manufacturing sector.

<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> Quality in manufacturing can be improved by using lean production methods. The paper discusses traditional and modern methods of lean production and their use in different enterprises.</p><p><strong>Methodology/Approach:</strong> Through a questionnaire survey and research, 90 industrial enterprises were classified by the size, production scope and their ownership. The research results were analyzed by means of statistical methods to determine the differences in the use of lean production methods.</p><p><strong>Findings:</strong> Regarding the lean production and its different methods, the size of the enterprise is an important factor. The statistics revealed that large enterprises tend to use lean production more. It was also proved that some methods of lean production are not completely common in the Czech Republic. Moreover, some methods are quite new to the majority of the enterprises.</p><p><strong>Research Limitation/implication:</strong> Some questionnaire surveys conducted in different countries (especially in the US) use a different enterprise size classification. As the research results show, there is still a large potential for the introduction of lean production methods in small and middle-sized enterprises that can help enterprises to improve the quality of their production.</p><p><strong>Originality/Value of paper:</strong> The application of lean production methods has been investigated so far, especially in large engineering enterprises. The paper deals with the use of these methods also in small and medium sized enterprises. The authors focused their research also on non-engeneering enterprises in the field of the food industry and production of products for domestic use too.</p>

The activities of many enterprises are regulated by the requirements of national standards in the field of quality management, lean production, environmental management and labor protection. Despite the fact that these standards are oriented as independent subsystems of enterprise management, they have common elements, the implementation of which can be integrated. The article presents an analysis of the identity of the principles of the quality management system and the lean production system, regulated by GOST R ISO 9000–2015, GOST R 56020–2014 and GOST R ISO 10006–2005. Proposals are given for creating integrated management principles taking into account the requirements of GOST R 53893–2010, GOST R 55269–2012 and GOST R 57522–2017.

Abstract Growing competition, clients’ requirements as well as advances in technology make modern industrial enterprises search for a way of achieving and maintaining strong position on the market. One of the principal and at the same time necessary conditions to achieve this aim is continuous development of all of the processes in order to fulfil various clients’ expectations. Enterprises make use of different concepts and management methods which in significant way upgrade ongoing processes by raising their efficiency. One of such is the concept of ‘lean’ production - Lean Manufacturing. Management according to Lean Management rules allows to produce more with the use of less resources - at the same time approaching the aim which is to deliver clients the exact product they want. The process of resources use limitation is not easy to perform however, the concept of Lean Manufacturing by the application of chosen tools allows successfully and effectively to introduce ‘lean’ model of management in an enterprise and undertaking following improvement activities in every of its field.

Since the beginning of utilization of the lean production concept it has passed several stages of implementation. The first stage failed because manufacturers that introduced lean production methods were isolated from each other; whereas in the second stage, these companies learned from their experiences. Since then, the lean production concept has been used to organize production and reduce costs, despite the fact that markets are becoming more demanding due to individualization of demand and variability of conditions. Digitalization suggests methods for adapting the concept of lean production to such a market indicator as company performance. Thus, the utilization of the concept “Industry 4.0” can initiate the third stage of development of the practice of lean manufacturing in terms of analyzing the productivity from a multidimensional point of view.
