Implementation of Lean Manufacturing Principles in the Process Industry: A Case Study

Abstract:

This research aims at implementing lean manufacturing principles in different industries and re-design the manufacturing system based on the concepts of lean manufacturing by developing a pull-oriented manufacturing system. This research was applied at the assembly line of Sunny Egypt Company for Electronics Industry which related to UNION AIR GROUP at Egypt. LCD 32'' model television was selected from the company's products for improvement. The Results obtained showed that the implementation of lean manufacturing in industrial systems eliminates wastes, increases productivity, profit, improves product’s quality, decreases cycle times, work in progress, inventory, raw materials, costs and number of operators. This research can be useful in developing a more generic approach to design lean environment.
