Study on Lean Tools Implementation in Various Indian Small and Medium Scale Manufacturing Industries
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
In present scenario, small and medium scale industries in India are implementing lean techniques hardly ever. Nowadays, the Government of India is also serving these kinds of small and medium scale industries in their lean journey by providing various incentives. In order to make them more competitive in the global market, other institutes like international labour organization, national productivity council and quality council of India are also helping in implementing lean tools. In recent times, many consultants have been trained in the implementation of lean tools and are being hired by the small and medium scale industries. The aim of this research is to make an attempt to capture the benefits accumulated by a group of small and medium scale industries who have attempted in lean tools implementation. The methodology adopted in implementation and the improvements achieved by these small and medium scale industries are analyzed. From the results, it was found that, the inventory ratio has been increased from 7 to 13 and the change over time is reduced from 130 minutes to 60 minutes. Finally, the production time has also been increased by about 70 minutes for every change over.
