Track: Lean

Abstract

Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach towards identifying the values in relation to the customer, exposing the waste with a sole aim to reduce the amount of waste and the non-value added activities. Lean manufacturing is indeed a very powerful approach which seeks continuous improvement in quality and reducing the waste. A process improvement methodology can become much better if both the approaches i.e. lean manufacturing and six sigma take into consideration these approaches streamline operations, increases values and reduce waste. In this paper, we have described the case study done at Blue Sky Machining Corp. With the application of various lean tools in order to maximize the production, reducing the throughput loss, and realizing the potential causes that can result in the loss of customers. We have significantly focused on achieving the standard operation time at each level of production.
