“…This non-value adding activities are the waste in Lean Manufacturing. Waste can be generated due to poor layout (distance), long setup times, incapable processes, poor maintenance practices poor work methods lack of training, large batches, ineffective production planning, lack of workplace organization etc" [12]. "By eliminating wastes in the overall process, through continuous improvements the product's lead time can be reduced remarkably.…”

In a garments manufacturing industry for selling as well as exporting ready-made-garments, quality improvement is a vital task. Industry will not be able to build up a good business relationship with the buyer if they fail to timely dispatch quality samples and finished product to buyers. This paper aims to investigate the changes in various aspects such as productivity, efficiency, capacity etc. of a readymade garment industry in Bangladesh by applying the 5’s lean tool. There is an improvement in production, WIP (work in progress) inventory reduction, space utilization, transport by applying the lean tool compared to conventional method. This study is based on both primary and secondary data. Here, quantitative method for data analysis is used. Data are tabled firstly in accordance with traditional operation break down, then according to lean line operational breakdown. Here data for jacket operation are shown. Results are compared with the help of bar charts. In this study the production data of Knitted Jacket are taken. The SMV data in two phases are considered, one with the traditional production process and the other one is with the implementation of Lean technique. Beside SMV (Standard Minute Value) data it has been shown productivity, efficiency, capacity etc. By comparing these data, it is assured that it is more preferable to choose Lean techniques to ensure better productivity level. This study is worked with 5’s and the 5’s will help a manufacturing company to increase its improvement and the company will turn into a self-improving company.

“…The implementation of this tool consisted of reviewing the procedures of the functions of the workers to evaluate if the way they are working is the correct one. As a result, after the implementation, the indicators of returns due to error were reduced by 1% and returns due to damage by 5% [19].…”

The commercial sector represents a fundamental part of Peru's economy and has been growing exponentially in recent years. However, like any other sector, it is affected by various challenges that affect customer satisfaction, the impact of which has a direct effect on sales. Therefore, in this case study, a set of tools such as the 5S methodology, Kaizen and standardized work were defined, which will focus on the optimization of this indicator and the solution of its root causes. Likewise, the improvements were validated through a pilot test and the use of Arena software. The results obtained were positive, since there was a time reduction in the search for tools from 8 minutes to 4 minutes, and the cycle time decreased from 15 minutes to 10 minutes. The material shortage rate improved from 29% to 10% and finally the efficiency was maximized from 48.41% to 64%. All these results generated an increase from 87% to 94% in the main indicator, which is the service level. This research proposes a new model combining Lean Warehousing, Kaizen, 5S and Standard work applied in a kitchen commercialization company, which would help other companies in the same sector to optimize the picking and packing processes and increase the service level.It should be noted that there are not many case studies using these methodologies, so the aim is to disseminate and validate these methodologies in a new scenario.
