Applications of Lean Manufacturing Techniques in various organizations: A Review
Keywords:
Manufacturing, TechniquesAbstract
Lean manufacturing is a philosophy which guides the organizations in order to improve their productivity by way of eliminating various kinds of waste. The major industrial organizations in the world have adopted these techniques to improve their efficiency and productivity. Depending on type of organization and specific requirement lean tools such as Just in time (JIT), SMED, visual management, 5S, Value Stream Mapping (VSM), kanban etc. can be employed to improve the efficiency. This paper presents a review of literature on the applications of lean manufacturing techniques in various organizations considering research papers published during last 10 years (2007-2017) in leading international and national journals. It has been observed that lean techniques have been adopted by manufacturing industries at large scale. Second major user is found to be the automobile industry. A very little literature is available on use of Lean tools in textile industry, process industry, metal and glass industry, agriculture industry, plastic industry etc.
