Reduction of Cost Employing Lean Supply Chain in Rubber Glove Industry

Abstract:

Rubber glove industry in the supply chain has become increasingly important because of the significant change in consumer behaviors, which turn to focus on healthcare and disease protection. Thailand is among the leading exporting countries of rubber glove. Under current situation, with high labor cost and energy cost having an impact on production cost, the need for cost reduction in the industry is extremely of concern. This research demonstrates application of the lean supply chain for cost reduction in the industry. The aim is to lower the total supply chain cost by reducing the lead time. Value stream mapping is employed to analyze non valued activities (wastes) in the supply chain. Propositions for eliminating the wastes are presented.
