“…However, with the lack of information regarding the lean key determinants in the overall manufacturing sectors in Malaysia (Wong and Wong, 2011;Nordin et al, 2010), there is an urgent need to examine the lean key determinants and determine the precedence relationship among key determinants.…”

This research aims to model the processes through which manufacturing firms can increase the effectiveness of lean manufacturing practices. To achieve its objective this research benefits from the interactive structural modelling technique to first capture the opinions of lean experts and further map the interrelationships between determents of lean manufacturing effectiveness. Findings revealed that employees empowerment, employees involvement, implementation cost, teamwork, managerial leadership and support, awareness of latest lean information and information technology are key determinants of lean manufacturing effectiveness. Findings explain that the precedence relationships between the determining factors identified, and the order of their implementation is crucial to the achievement of highest degrees of lean manufacturing effectiveness. Utility of the proposed interpretive structural modelling methodology imposing order, direction and significance of the relationships among elements of lean manufacturing effectiveness are expected to offer considerable value to the decision makers and lean practitioners.

“…In this association, lean assembling idea is executed as another idea of assembling in the articles of clothing of the examined pieces of the clothing industry. Norani Nordin et al [4] The reason for this paper is to investigate the degree of LM usage in Malaysian car producing firms. The outcomes demonstrate that a large portion of the respondent firms has actualized lean assembling framework up to a certain degree.…”

Abstract. Lean Manufacturing is a way to deal with the elimination of waste through persistent change within the system. The assembling units in India should likewise hope to take its preferences. The Industries are energetically following the Lean assembling strategies to reduce waste and cost. The present work is the study of a manufacturing process for axle housing and to decide how Lean manufacturing process carried out for axle housing plant to improve productivity. The new shot peening machine was installed in a heat treatment plant of a housing line in an automobile rear axle assembly plant and material handling time from storage to this new machine was more and this increased lead time subsequently. To reduce this Kaizens technique was employed and a direct gravity conveyor was chosen and installed between two work stations and the part was directly fed to the new machine installed and this reduces the material handling time considerably. A cost analysis was done to realize the benefits of implementing this lean technique. Therefore reducing lead time and increasing productivity is the Prime benefits of lean manufacturing practices like lean assembly.

Abstract; Nowadays, manufacturing companies are striving for a better system like lean manufacturing (LM). The primary objective of LM is to identify and eliminate wastes. LM can be applied successfully in all industries providing a full understanding of lean ingredients i.e. concept, principles, and practices. There are a lot of practices which are necessary to be implemented in order to gain full benefits of LM. However, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are lack of knowledge in LM and facing difficulties to adopt all of the LM principles. Therefore, it is necessary to the researchers to come out with a simple guideline for LM implementation. The objective of this paper is to explore the journey of LM implementation including preliminary, in process and post of LM. This research was conducted through multi-case study research. There were four SMEs and two large companies. The gathered information shows that the preliminary stage of LM implementation is similar to each other including large companies. The result shows SMEs still have a potential to success in LM. This finding might give an opportunity to SMEs to prepare the basis for LM implementation effectively. As a result, SMEs able compete in the competitive global marketplace and strive for world class performance through implementation of LM.
