This document provides an overview of lean and agile manufacturing as techniques to enhance productivity. It defines lean manufacturing as focusing on eliminating waste to improve productivity, while agile manufacturing emphasizes responsiveness and flexibility to meet customer needs. The document compares the two approaches, noting they both aim to improve competitiveness but have different origins, goals, and implementation processes. Lean focuses on efficiency and waste removal, while agile prioritizes flexibility and responsiveness to change. Both can benefit organizations but require overcoming cultural barriers to successful adoption.
Smaller lot sizes, shorter times to market, and lower manufacturing costs are typical requirements of a modern manufacturing facility. Under such constraints, agile manufacturing systems are desirable. Agile manufacturing uses technology, organizational approaches, systems and people in a manufacturing concept which truly belongs to the 21st century and which transcends existing methodology to facilitate ability of the organization to react to rapid change and respond to an increasingly unpredictable marketplace. Agile manufacturing can produce what customers want, when and exactly how they want it, at a cost-effective price. The main aim of this paper is to presents the various possible research domains in the development of agile manufacturing era. The objective of this paper is to brief an overall idea and research needs of agile manufacturing with the focus of current fluctuations in the market scenario
Implementation of Lean Manufacturing System for Successful Production System ...IJERA Editor
In manufacturing industries lean manufacturing is a broadly accepted philosophy. There are more requirements of research and studies. To investigate the needs, techniques, benefits of lean manufacturing and approaches for implementation Lean manufacturing is a leading manufacturing paradigm has applied in many economy sectors, where we have to reduce manufacturing cost, improving product quality, reducing cost of poor quality, and quick to respond and “first to market to customer needs are critical to competitiveness and success. Lean methods and principle focus on the continuous improvement and engages employees reducing the intensity of materials, time, and capital necessary for meeting a customer’s needs. Successful implementation of lean manufacturing is very important to increase quality and waste reduction. By implementation of lean manufacturing there are various benefits such as waste elimination, reduction in reworking, financial benefits, lead time reduction and lower inventory levels.

Competition is global and it continues to get more intense, with changes in technology, introduction of new and differentiated products and techniques. These changes are faster than what can be implemented. Profits are no longer driven by prices but with costs.[1] Customers have access to just about anything at their finger tips. The expectation like quick response, lower prices, flexible orders and quality products, is increasing every day from the customers. Our OEM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturers) are searching for new methods of doing business and they expect their suppliers, like us to do the same. The challenge in front of us is how we respond effectively to these changing trends in the industry for our survival & growth.

Understanding the Need of Implementation of Lean Techniques in Manufacturing ...ijtsrd
In competitive environment lean manufacturing is necessary in every industry. Lean production is a standard manufacturing mode of the 21st century All the manufacturing industries have put a continuous efforts for its survival in these current world. In order to handle the critical situations manufacturers are trying to implement new and innovative techniques in their manufacturing process. Later on lean was formulated and developed as the solution to the fluctuating and competitive business environment. Due to rapid change in business environment the manufacturing organization are forced to face challenges and complexities in the competition. The concept of lean manufacturing was developed for maximize the resource utilization and minimize the wastes. The main focus of the lean manufacturing is to satisfy customer demands for high quality and low cost. The technique not only identifies the reasons for waste but also helps in its removal through marked principles and guidelines. Lean Manufacturing is an efficient and fast growing approach in the world of competition. Lean manufacturing utilizes a wide range of tools and techniques the choice of tools is based on the requirement. Many parameters contribute success of lean. Organizations which implemented lean manufacturing have higher level of flexibility and competitiveness. However, lean manufacturing provides an environment that is highly conducive to waste minimization. The majority of the study focuses on single aspect of lean element, only very few focuses on more than one aspect of lean elements, but for the successful implementation of lean the organization had to focuses on all the aspects such as Value Stream Mapping VSM , Cellular Manufacturing CM , U line system, Line Balancing, Inventory control, Single Minute Exchange of Dies SMED , Pull System, Kanban, Production Leveling etc., G.

Lean systems in services industry miba-ahmed m adelAhmed Adel
Lean Systems is described as a managerial philosophy which enhances the value perceived by the customers, by adding product and/or service features and by continuously removing non value added activities (i.e. wastes), which are concealed in any kind of process.
To reduce waste, the lean manufacturing is capitalizing on various tools at its disposal including regular process review.
In particular the five Lean principles proposed , these 5 principles are Define Value, Value stream, Flow, Pull and perfection.

The perceptible impact of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) lies in raising productivity standards, gaining
profitability, and improving the quality besides cutting down the non value added costs greatly. This paper is
an attempt to provide a frame work and pragmatic approach in implementation of TPM. A number of novel
success factors or practices that are responsible for the decisive role to overture the process are identified.
These practices are interchangeably called as sub-attributes. These practices must have evolved from different
strategies. The sub-attributes are quantified using least square multi attribute decision model (LSMADM) for
three alternatives strategies viz. corrective maintenance, reliability centered maintenance(RCM), and TPM. Any
sub-attribute irrespective of its own high or low relative score among the number of sub attributes is evaluated
over three alternative strategies. To implement any sub-attribute, an investigation of its highest relative score
for given alternatives will guide the managers to opt the best alternative. The best practices must come from
different strategies to get most optimal results. The priorities established using LSMADM will act as base line
to implement the industrial activities in a more systematic and balanced way to gain far-reaching optimized
productivity and quality standards. The higher priority task will be given higher consideration in terms of
committing the resources vis a vis less priority task. This will aid in orienting the collective efforts for optimal
outcomes.

Simulation of pressure drop for combined tapered and nontapered die for polyp...IOSR Journals
Abstract: the pressure drop in combined sections tapered and circular for the flow of polypropylene were
studied both analytical and simulation under isothermal and no-slip condition in the die wall. The predicted
pressure drop values are compared with three-dimensional (3D) finite element simulation to identify effect of
contraction angles, die land and radius on pressure drop. The governing equation of pressure drop was first
derived to angle of tapered section, for circular section the pressure drop was studied using different die lands
and radii .The three parameters were varied in the ansys Polyflow at specified polymer flow rate and the results
are compared with analytical results .For the tapered section the best angle is analytically and for
the simulation. For circular section of the die the results for die lands variations are almost the same but when
varying the varying the radius the results differ at radii less than 2 cm and approach each other at 2 cm and
above. Index Terms: Tapered die, circular section, pressure drop, Polyflow.

During the last decades
t
he U.S. wood products and furniture manufacturing
industries have been greatly affected by
changing business environment ,
economic cycles, rising production and
transportation costs, changing buyer habits, and increasing global
competition.
In order to survive small businesses have to improve their productionperformance. A commonly applied philosophy to improve production performance is calledlean manufacturing. This method, derived from the Toyota Production System, eliminates waste, increase efficiency and effectiveness of processes while increasing the competitive strength and responsiveness of a company.
Lean management, allows companies to become more competitive and enhance the likelihood
of survival.
However, findings show that Lean awareness and its use in Wood product and Millwork industry is very limited
(Pirraglia et al., 2009)
. The group of
industry segments with the highest Lean awareness and Lean implementation status are
“engineered wood products”, “manufactured homes”, and “household furniture
manufacturing," as opposed to industry sub-segments such as “sawmill” and “Commercial Millwork and Cabinetry," which had lower Lean awareness and Lean implementation status
(Pirraglia et al., 2009)

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Abstract: With the beginning of globalization of the market in 21st century, the manufacturing organization felt
strongly challenges from their competitors. These challenges lead the organizations for the changes such as
reduced product life cycle, minimum production cost and responding to diverse needs of customers. To respond
the customer requirement and increasing customer satisfaction many organization adopted process improving
techniques such as Lean or agile manufacturing. This paper briefly explores to the concept lean manufacturing
and agile manufacturing with their similarities and differences including limitation of the concepts. The paper
proposes an approach which emphasizes to response customer requirement and increase customer satisfaction.
The paper also focuses on methods to detect, analyze and improve the problems and dysfunctions in process
through process interaction, including maintaining the result efforts.
Key words: Lean Manufacturing, Agile Manufacturing, Waste Minimization
I. Need of Lean manufacturing or agile manufacturing.
Today industries severe the challenges and competitive market pressures, including globalization,
Competition and cooperation, diversity of customer requirements, due to the globalization of the
market industries are restructuring and reengineering themselves to overcome the challenge of customers,
seeking high quality, low-cost products and be responsive to their specific unique and rapidly changing needs.
To respond customer requirement and to minimize overall cost two new systems of doing business in
manufacturing have evolved in the recent decade’s lean manufacturing and agile manufacturing.
Lean focuses on elimination source of wastes (muda) that arise in processes. Lean principles are
adopted in many enterprises, including Japanese enterprises for controlling the resources in accordance with the
customers’ needs and to reduce cost through unnecessary waste (including the waste of time) [1]. Agility
addresses new ways of running companies to meet these challenges and is based not only on responsiveness and
flexibility but also on cost and quality of goods and services that the customers are prepared to accept.
According to Gupta and Mittal Agile Manufacturing is “a business concept that integrates organization, people
and technology into a meaningful unit by deploying advanced information technologies and flexible and nimble
organizational structures to support highly skilled, knowledgeable and motivated people” [2]. There is no
standard framework for implementation of Lean and Agility , some company have adopted Lean tools to be part
of Agility programs, while some lean consultants have started agile manufacturing to be part of the Lean. This
approach helps to improve process and reduce the waste that arises in process.
II. Basic Concept of Lean Manufacturing
Lean Manufacturing is a systematic approach for identifying and eliminating waste in operations
through continues improvement for doing everything more efficiently, reducing the cost of operating system and
fulfilling the costumer desire for maximum value at the lowest price [3]. Within a lean manufacturing
production system such as the “Toyota production System” (TPS) there is a base operating methodology,
utilized by manufacturers in Japan under the heading of Genba Kanri [4]. These basic operating rules have been
developed over many years in several Japanese companies to the point where they are now implicit in
manufacturing operations.
Toyota Production System (TPS) which was relabeled as Lean manufacturing by Womack, Jones, and
Roos [5] in their book “The Machine That Changed the World” has influenced the manufacturing practices
around the world. The fundamental of TPS is to eliminate wastes and produce only the items that needed at the
required time and in the required quantities. Principles of lean are universal as they are broadly accepted by
many manufacturing operations and have been applied successfully across many disciplines [6]. It has become
an integrated system composed of highly inter-related elements and a wide variety of management practices,
including Just-in-time, quality system, work teams, cellular manufacturing, etc. The main purpose of
implementing lean manufacturing is to increase productivity, reduce lead time and cost, and improve quality,
thus providing the upmost value to customers. [7]. Seven important wastes in lean are as follows:

Overproduction, Waiting, Unnecessary transport, Over processing or incorrect processing, Excess inventory,
Unnecessary movement, and Defects or rework [7].
III. Basic Concept of Agile Manufacturing.
Agile manufacturing is a term applied to an organization that has created the processes, tools, and
training to enable it to respond quickly to customer needs and market changes while still controlling costs and
quality. Agile manufacturing is seen as the next step after Lean manufacturing in the evolution of production
methodology.
In the beginning of globalization of the market in 21st century the agile manufacturing paradigm was
formulated in response to the constantly changing `new economy’ and as a basis for returning to global
competitiveness. Agile manufacturing (AM) has emerged after lean production the word agile is used means the
ability fast thinking with a clever method and in fact it is concept of maximum flexibility and an agile
organization should be able to respond to possible changes that may occur in the organization. A lot definitions
provided abut agility, but in general we can say agility is responding to available challenges in business
environment that this challenge is via change and uncertainty to the business environment. A key feature of
agility organization is flexibility [8].
Agile manufacturing is an approach to manufacturing which is focused on meeting the needs of
customers while maintaining high standards of quality and controlling the overall costs involved in the
production of a particular product. This approach is geared towards companies working in a highly competitive
environment, where small variations in performance and product delivery can make a huge difference in the
long term to a company's survival and reputation among consumers.
In fact the main origin of "agility" as a concept in business and work is rooted in flexible
manufacturing systems. At first was thought the path toward flexibility in production and manufacturing is
move from automation towards create ability for rapid changes such as reducing the startup time and thus faster
reaction to changes in product mix or volume. Soon after this theory about flexibility in the production was
extended greater fields of business).a organization for responding to changes occurs in its business requires
ability that called agility and is including speed, flexibility, competence and accountability [8].
IV. Comparison between Lean and Agile Manufacturing.
`Lean manufacturing’ and `Agile manufacturing’ sound similar, but they are different. Lean
manufacturing is a response to competitive pressures with limited resources. Agile manufacturing, on the other
hand, is a response to complexity brought about by constant change. Lean is a collection of operational
techniques focused on productive use of resources. Agility is an overall strategy focused on thriving in an
unpredictable environment. Focusing on the individual customer, agile competition has evolved from the
unilateral producer-centered customer-responsive companies inspired by the lean manufacturing refinement of
mass production to interactive producer-customer relationships [9]. Table below shows the comparison of lean
and agile manufacturing on various factors [9],[10],[11],[12],[15].

V. Similarities and differences between lean and agile manufacturing.
Basically, both lean and agile manufacturing are suited for modern managers who desire to increase
business sustainability and revenue They both must be decided on early in the manufacturing planning process,
as they affect all aspects of the process. The other similarities between both the systems are as follows. [13],
[14].
Both are designed to keep companies competitive.
Both start with customer demands.
Both required top management commitment
Both can have extraordinary results.
Both concentrate on minimization of Total lead-time
Both deliver the best results when more, rather than fever employees are involved.
Fig No 1 Similarities and differences between lean and agile manufacturing.[10]
As per as the difference are concerns Lean was conceptualized much before agile due to which Lean
has a wider scope and can be applied to any industry. Lean manufacturing focuses on reducing costs, allowing
companies greater price flexibility. Agile manufacturing focuses on responding quickly to unexpected customer
requests, allowing companies to capitalize on the highest possible number of sales opportunities. Production

configuration for agile manufacturing uses fewer people, relying more on automation and modular design than
lean manufacturing, which relies heavily on people. Regarding inventory, lean manufacturing requires a higher
inventory of smaller parts, while agile manufacturing requires a lower inventory due to modular design. The
modular design also makes agile manufacturing systems more ready to adapt to customization requests [10].
VI. Implementing lean or Agile
For any organization, the first step in implementing Lean or Agile Manufacturing is deciding to use the
methodology. Once the leadership of an organization believes that they can benefit from using Lean or Agile the
organization can decide a standard plan to implement the systems. Both the Lean and Agile Manufacturing have
some common steps for implementation. The table below shows the basic steps for implementing lean or Agile
Manufacturing [11], [15].
Implementing Lean manufacturing Implementing Agile Manufacturing
Management commitment. Management commitment.
Train core team. Top-down directive process led by top management
Understand value from customer perspective. Emphasis on enterprise integration, training & education,
and empowered teams
Set aggressive improvement goals. Building effective information infrastructure
Identify and removal waste. Forming virtual organizations
Constantly improve the process. Mostly internally managed process, with possible support
from outside
Table no 2 Implementation Comparisons of Lean and agile manufacturing
VII. Barriers to implementations
When we are thinking to implement the lean manufacturing or Agile Manufacturing in any industry
there are several barriers to implement it. The old ways of working is the biggest problem, followed by
employee resistance. Therefore, the major roadblocks of implementing these systems in the any companies seem
to be the “people” factor. Following data represent the major limitations in implementation of Lean or Agile
Manufacturing in the organization [15].
7.1 Cultural limitations.
Fear of job loss to the workers from employer.
Time pressure from management.
Resistance to change old working habits.
Lack of trust on management.
Poor communication between employer and employees.
7.2 Knowledge limitations.
Lack of training to the workers.
Lack of knowledge in management as well as among team members.
Lack of team skill among the team.
7.3 Management limitations
Lack of leadership.
Unprofessional management behavior.
Lack of management commitment to the workers.
Lack of hands on involvement from management.
VIII. Conclusion
From the above research it is clear that to respond to customer requirement and to increasing customer
satisfaction lean and agile manufacturing technology is regarded as one of the most important manufacturing
techniques. As the huge amount of information about the tools and technique of Lean and agile manufacturing is
available, but many people do not understand and realize the basic differences and goals of each system. It
should be noted that lean and agile manufacturing, each one holds its own advantages and strengths and
weaknesses. The organization must be aware that change does not happen overnight; the result from
implementing such a system may come slowly. This paper helps to understand the basic concept of Lean and
agile manufacturing with their similarities and differences and can guide the organizations for selecting either to
implement Lean or agile manufacturing system to solve their existing problems.
