“…Lean manufacturing or known as Toyota Production System (TPS) is a production strategy that aims to eliminate waste and deliver increased value to the product and customer. Generally, lean manufacturing focuses on pinpointing the major source of wastes and eliminate the wastes using lean manufacturing tools [6][7][8][9][10]. There are several lean manufacturing tools have been extensively used to identify and eliminate wastes, for example, include but not limited to Kanban, 5S, Kaizen, Value Stream Mapping, Total Productive Maintenance, and PokaYoke [11].…”

“…Elimination of these wastes is achieved through the successful implementation of lean elements. Continuous improvement is the core of lean thinking, therefore, all the processes will continually improve to reduce the waste and ultimately achieve a waste-free process [6][7][8]20]. …”

“…Basically, if the demand increases, the Takt time decrease, and vice versa. On the other hand, if bottleneck cycle time less than Takt time, then customers' demand met, and vice versa [7]. Hence, Take time is served as a management tool to determine whether the production line is ahead or behind the production schedule.…”

Abstract. In recent years, lean manufacturing is being followed by various sectors in order to keep their competitiveness in the global markets. Lean manufacturing plays a vital role in improving the efficiency of operation by eliminating or reducing wastes. Nonetheless, most of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) lack sufficient knowledge or information on the benefits of implementing lean manufacturing. The main objective of this study is to apply value stream mapping, one of lean manufacturing tools, for improving the productivity in a SME by eliminating non-value added activities. In this study, lean manufacturing was adopted at a SME, particularly a food industry. Value stream mapping was served as main tool to identify the wastes and improvement opportunities in production line. Subsequently, different lean manufacturing tools such as Kaizen Burst, one piece flow, and 5S were applied to eliminate or reduce identified wastes. Based on the future state value stream mapping, final results showed that the total operation time and non-added value activities time were successfully decreased from 1993 seconds to 1719 seconds, and 234 seconds to 104 seconds, respectively. The findings of this study indicate that value stream mapping is an effective approach to eliminate the wastes and improve the productivity.

“…The economic characteristics of the market have been forcing organisations to tighten their belts and lean their processes in order to save resources and drop waste production. So then, Lean Manufacturing starting point was marked by the need for maximising the use of resources and minimising waste (Sundar, Balaji and SatheeshKumar, 2014) and later, as it developed, it started to grow and ramify, deriving similar approaches on diverse spheres, such as Green Manufacturing.…”

Initiatives toward Lean and Green Manufacturing are given mainly due to organisational response to current market's economic and environmental pressures. This paper, therefore, aims to present a brief discussion based on a literature review of the potential two-way influence between Lean and Green Manufacturing and its role on the main organisational areas with a closer relationship to such approaches, which were observed to be more extensively discussed in the literature. Naturally lean practises seem more likely to deploy into green outcomes, though the other way around can also occur. There is some blur on the factual integration of both themes, as some authors suggest. Notwhithstanding, they certainly present certain synergy. Thereupon, further research is needed to unveil the real ties, overlaps and gaps between these approaches.
