Lean Manufacturing:A Case Study of a Sri Lankan Manufacturing Organization
Subscribe/Renew Journal
This paper presents an application of the Lean Production System in a manufacturing environment. It discusses the most important elements of lean practices through a case study, carried out in a Food processing facility in Sri Lanka, where lean system was implemented. Further it illustrates the impact of lean consumption on bottom-line results of business processes. It was found that leanness of the business process is below the expectation as its process cycle efficiency is around 12.4%. It means that most of the activities (nearly 88%) of the Jar-process consist of Business Non-Value Added (BNV) and Non-Value Added (NVA) activities. Therefore improving this process would bring in a lot of financial gain as well as the lead time reduction.
