“…These studies were successful in statistically predicting various future states so as to facilitate the process of making decisions toward adoption of lean practices. Consequently, prospective but sceptic lean implementers can assess the desired impact by determining improvements in performance of their production activities in a dynamic rather than static way (Abdulmalek and Rajgopal, 2007;Lian and Van Landeghem, 2007). In this context, simulation can be readily applied in the agri-food industry which is characterised by unique and complex factors that, at present, often hinder the adoption of lean manufacturing practices (Dora et al, 2016).…”

Abstract:The interest to reduce food losses and wastes has grown considerably in order to guarantee adequate food for the fast growing population. A systematic review was used to show the potential of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) not only to identify and reduce food losses and wastes, but also as a way to establish links with nutrient retention in supply chains. The review compiled literature from 24 studies that applied VSM in the agri-food industry.Primary production, processing, storage, food service and/or consumption were identified as susceptible hotspots for losses and wastes. Results further revealed discarding and nutrient loss, most especially at the processing level, as the main forms of loss/waste in food, which were adapted to four out of seven lean manufacturing wastes (i.e. defect, unnecessary inventory, overproduction and inappropriate processing). This paper presents the state of the art of applying lean manufacturing practices in the agri-food industry by identifying lead time as the most applicable performance indicator. VSM was also found to be compatible with other lean tools such as Just-In-Time and 5S which are continuous improvement strategies, as well as simulation modelling that enhances adoption. In order to ensure successful application of lean practices aimed at minimizing food or nutrient losses and wastes, multistakeholder collaboration along the entire food supply chain is indispensable.

“…De fato, estudos realizados em diferentes países têm indicado que poucas empresas alcançam a maturidade ou resultados sustentáveis com a IPE (Baker, 2002;Blanchard, 2007;Bhasin, 2012;Marodin & Saurin, 2013). Essa situação decorre, em parte, da própria natureza da IPE, que é complexa, demorada e requer a alocação de uma quantidade substancial de recursos financeiros e humanos (Papadopoulou & Özbayrak, 2005;Emiliani & Stec, 2005;Lian & Van Landeghem, 2007).…”

ResumoO processo de implantação de sistemas de produção enxuta é complexo, demorado e sujeito a uma série de riscos. Este artigo tem como objetivo identificar e classificar os riscos presentes na implantação da produção enxuta (IPE). As quatro etapas da pesquisa foram: (i) revisão de literatura para identificação de riscos à IPE; (ii) desenvolvimento e aplicação de um questionário a 57 respondentes, que avaliou as percepções acerca da probabilidade de ocorrência e impacto de cada risco apontado pela literatura; (iii) análise dos resultados do questionário, que permitiu a classificação dos riscos por meio de uma análise fatorial exploratória; (iv) estudo de caso para aprofundar a compreensão das relações entre os riscos em uma empresa na qual trabalhavam três respondentes da survey. Quatorze riscos à IPE foram identificados e classificados em três grupos: (i) riscos associados ao papel das áreas de apoio; (ii) riscos associados ao papel da alta e média gerência; e (iii) riscos associados ao papel dos níveis operacionais. Uma vez que os riscos dentro de cada grupo são fortemente inter-relacionados, essa classificação pode contribuir para o planejamento e implantação de ações de controle destes.

“…Al-Sudairi [58] reports that implementing LPs reduces material flow time in the construction section. Lian and Van Landeghem [59] show improvements in storage and transportation of animal foods when they implemented LPs. Zheng et al [60] note the reduction in factory variability when LPs are applied.…”

Increasing Production and Eliminating Waste through Lean Tools and Techniques for Halal Food Companies

et al. 2014

Major businesses around the world have been trying to reduce the total cost and wastes across their supply chain to remain competitive in the expanding global market. Hence, a collection of reliable tools and techniques are vital for decreasing costs and wastes and for providing effective services for customer demands. Given that lean concept attempts to decrease costs and wastes, this study aims to identify the effective lean tools required for eliminating wastes in the supply chain. Because of the large number of consumers and the global market of Halal products, this study focuses on Halal food supply chains. Out of the questionnaires distributed to 300 Halal food firms in Malaysia, only 61 usable replies were obtained. The results showed that demand collaboration, continuous improvement, and inventory management practices are the most important tools in Lean Supply Chain (LSC) implementation. In addition, the results indicated that only a small percentage of Halal food companies are implementing LSC. Malaysia is an important Halal food producer in the word, but has low level of LSC implementation among its Halal food producers. LSC is a new concept that needs more effort to be understood and implemented. OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2014, 6 9180
