IMPLEMENTATION OF LEAN MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUE IN AN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY: A REVIEW

Lean manufacturing was established to maximise resource utilisation through waste minimization; however, lean was later formulated in response to the dynamic and competitive business environment. Organizations are obliged to face problems and complexities as a result of the quickly changing business environment. To thrive, every business, whether manufacturing or service-oriented, must be able to adjust to these changes methodically and continually in order to increase product value. To reach this perfection, a value-adding process is required; thus, building a lean manufacturing system is becoming a basic capability for any sort of firm to sustain. This document attempts to design a lean route map for the organization’s implementation of the lean manufacturing system. This study summarises the analyses of the exploratory survey results to show the implementation sequence of lean components in a dynamic business environment, and the findings of this review were synthesised to build a coherent theory for lean element implementation.
