“…Today, Lean thinking is primarily associated with improving the efficiency of operations by eliminating waste, minimising waste and controlling the flow of added value (Logu et al, 2021;Ingaldi and Jagusiak-Kocik, 2014). This means, in effect, lean production, lean service delivery, lean office work, etc., consuming as few resources as possible for the value obtained.…”

Lean Manufacturing (LM) practices have gained popularity as a means to achieve high-quality products while reducing costs and delivery times. However, the implementation of LM can be challenging, with a high failure rate. This paper aims to explore the perspectives of employees and managers on LM practices implemented in an automotive company. The research involved primary and secondary data analysis, combining observation, interviews, and a questionnaire survey. The survey assessed knowledge and skills, impact on quality improvement, motivation, supervisor support, control, and engagement in LM development. The results highlight the importance of management commitment and support in achieving successful LM implementation. Moreover, the study emphasises the positive impact of LM practices on employee motivation and the overall quality of processes and products. The PDCA cycle emerged as the most impactful tool, along with other recognised tools like Poka Yoke, Andon, Kaizen, Visual Management, and the 5S method. The findings contribute to understanding the implementation and effects of LM practices, providing insights for companies seeking improvement through Lean Manufacturing methodologies.

“…While several authors have differing opinions regarding the importance of LM tools, there seems to be a consensus among practitioners about the main techniques used to promote continuous flow. Such techniques include line balancing from the analysis of cycle time and work sizing based on takt time , the creation of U-shaped cells, and, finally, the automation of the cells to optimize the dynamics of work (Rother and Harris, 2001; Liker, 2004; Wilson, 2010; Ingaldi and Jagusiak-Kocik, 2014).…”

PurposeThe present paper aims to demonstrate the potential of integration between industrial robotics and Lean Manufacturing (LM) approach to increase the efficiency of an assembly line.Design/methodology/approachBased on a case study performed in an Italian company, this paper reports a comparative analysis of the results produced on a line balancing study involving a semi-automated production line, aided by an industrial robot.FindingsThe results suggest the possibility of implementing industrial robotics in line balancing studies highlighting efficiency gains and idle reduction. Further, it also addresses some concepts directly related to industry 4.0, such as collaborative robotics, artificial intelligence, and lean automation.Practical implicationsLine balancing studies may include advanced robotics in order to extend traditional lean practices toward Digital LM.Originality/valueThis study adds contributions to the operational excellence literature, demonstrating the symbiosis between industrial robotics and LM practices.

“…Lean management is a philosophy of management, involving the continuous elimination of waste, defined as all activities, investments and processes which do not add value to the product or service from the customer point of view [5] To eliminate sources of wasting, within the concept of lean production, various tools and methods are used that serve not only for searching problems but also to remove them. On the other hand, individual tools are often interdependent; the successful implementation of one tool can be conditioned by the implementation of another tool.…”

Application of methods and tools of industrial engineering is from our experience often disconnected from the strategy and core activity of the company and this influences the possibility to get synergic effect for entrepreneurship and for all stakeholders including environment and future. For capturing the synergies, it is imperative to implement system approach on the all levels of management and to create innovative environment. Objective of papers is twofold. Firstly, it gives a comprehensive overview of the most used methods and tools in industrial engineering to improve quality and effectiveness in context the sustainable development. Secondly, it gives a deep insight in application of before introduced methods in companies in Slovakia featuring discussions on cross-disciplinary cutting policy issues from the management perspective, such as economical, environmental and societal impact on the stakeholders and environment.
