ARTICULATED FUNCTION OF LEAN THINKING APPLYING TO SML SCALE INDUSTRIES

Abstract

Lean manufacturing make a start as the Toyota production system in the japanese auto industry. With the current
economic situation pressure is being felt at all levels of all organization so its necessary to set main objective,
the efficiency of management method . Lean manufacturing is most powerful formula for eliminating waste and
non value-added activity , improve quality and inventory, improving overall performance with the promise of huge
early gains and address their specific needs in a restricted market in times of economic trouble. In this
context, this study is an attempt to develop a structural model of the variables, important to implement lean
manufacturing system in industry. In this paper a framework is created by a brief exposure to lean
manufacturing processes and prepare common flow chart of process which is implementing for small
scale,medium scale and as well as large scale industry. This flowcharts are used in analyzing,designing,
documenting or managing a process of lean manufacturing.
