Lean Manufacturing has been widely adopted in various business and industries worldwide. To determine the current stage of Lean implementation in Thailand and the barrier Lean implementation, the qualitative research involving interview with 10 industrial companies practicing Lean manufacturing was conducted. The result from this study shows that most Lean practitioners understand the principal of Lean manufacturing. Different organization functions adopt different types of Lean tools and techniques as well as the performance measures depending on their business characteristics. However, there are three performance measures, which are manufacturing cost per unit, total sales and part per million (PPM) in defective products shipped to customers, that were adopted by all 10 companies. The most important barrier in Lean implementation is the cultural change since it requires the entire company participation. Finally, the companies participated in this study confirmed that they are satisfy with the result of Lean manufacturing though some companies have not completely adopted the Lean approach into their manufacturing process. To excellent the Lean manufacturing, companies are required to satisfy customer needs, improve the manufacturing process, and increase their flexibility. Furthermore, it is necessary for the top management to provide a clear policies as well as plan and direction. If Lean implementation is to be successful, the communication and human resource department are also the main keys.

PP London Sumatra Indonesia Tbk is a company engaged in agribusiness, which tried to become a retail company in 2016 with Kahuripan Tea products, namely teabags processed from their factories and gardens in the Bandung, West Java area. With marketing areas in West Java and East Java, the focused area is the Jabodetabek area in this research. The problem faced by the company is the delay in the transport order process, which results in delays in the delivery of Kahuripan Tea products to customers. The data on delays used are data from October to December 2019. The problem occurs because there are still many activities that are not value-added which are classified as waste. This research aims to analyze improvements in the transport order process that occurs in the business development and procurement department at PT. PP London Sumatra Indonesia Tbk, with a lean manufacturing approach with the value stream mapping (VSM) method, analyzes the dominant waste in the transport ordering process. Based on the analysis results, there were three improvements, namely the approval process, the price bidding process, and the vendor selection process. The results of the improvement evaluation obtained a decrease in lead time by 560 minutes and an increase in the value of Process Cycle Efficiency by 46%. So, this improvement will increase the practical value in the transport ordering process: that way, PT. PP London Sumatra Indonesia Tbk can increase customer value with fast service time and good quality.

Performance Evaluation Method

Lean Manufacturing includes an ensemble of methods to analyze and continuously improve the functioning of manufacturing systems. The research presented in the literature highlights the fact that these methods are, on their own, in a process of continuous improvement as tools, being used in different ways, for different production systems. The paper presents an algorithm that facilitates the choice of the performance evaluation method, and the choice of the method of improvement that needs to be implemented for an efficient analysis and for a continuous increase of the manufacturing system performance. In addition to these, for the JobObservation and 5S methods, chartflows are proposed and specific tools are developed (questionnaires, forms etc.) that are meant to facilitate the implementation and to focus (guide) the user in the direction of improvement for the analyzed process. The algorithm, techniques, and tools developed in this research were used in a case study that took place in a production system “plastic injection”. Thus, a series of important improvements were made in the functioning of the production system, consisting of the reduction of production area, decrease of cycle time, decrease of the number of operators, stabilization, standardization, and securing of the work processes. All this has led to the improvement of several key performance indicators (KPIs) of the production system. The analysis of the investment in the reorganization of the production system in relation to the obtained gains shows a payback of approximately 1 month, proving the efficiency of use in such a form of the Lean Manufacturing methods.

Abstract This study aims to explore the predominant critical success factors (CSFs) for the implementation of lean manufacturing (LM) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) producing machinery and equipment (M&E). The convergent parallel mixed-methods (qualitative and quantitative) were employed in three Malaysian M&E manufacturing SMEs. The study identified four predominant CSFs that significantly impact on the LM application in M&E manufacturing SMEs, namely, leadership and commitment of the top management, training to upgrade skills and expertise, employee involvement and empowerment, and the development of LM implementation framework for SMEs. This study can assist the M&E manufacturing SMEs in prioritising these predominant CSFs so that the management teams can work on the improvement strategy and achieve a higher level of lean sustainability. It offers valuable insights into the LM implementation that could provide a practical reference guide to other industrial companies.

Lean technologies are widely used in various industries. Currently, the development of quality management of higher education is facing new challenges, the key of which is to ensure competitiveness and attractiveness for potential students, employers and research customers. In the context of the «struggle» for financing, it is necessary to find internal reserves for development, which is the main result of reducing losses. The application of lean manufacturing methods in education is possible taking into account the adaptation of tools and their consistent implementation, taking into account scientific and practical experience. Activities to optimize the educational process should be carried out taking into account the views of interested parties, such as: teachers, students and employers. The article discusses the application of the principles of lean method and 5S in higher education. The main difficulties in implementation are reflected.
