This document discusses lean manufacturing in the apparel industry. It defines lean manufacturing as a systematic approach to achieving the shortest possible production cycle by eliminating waste through continuous improvement. The objectives of lean manufacturing are to meet customer demand on time, eliminate non-value-added activities, minimize work-in-process inventory, and create flexibility for style changeovers. The document also covers the five pillars of lean manufacturing, types of waste, cellular manufacturing, Just-in-Time production, and provides a case study comparing production times with and without lean manufacturing.

3. 1. LEAN TIME MANUFACTURING
DEF: Systematic approach for
achieving the shortest possible cycle
by eliminating the process waste
through continuous improvement.
In simple words lean is manufacturing
without waste.

4. 2. OBJECTIVES
 Meet customer demand on time
 Eliminating non value added activates
 Minimize the work in process inventory
 Create flexibility of style changeover
 Creating multi-skilled operators responding
quickly for style change over.

14. 9. CONCLUSION
 Lean manufacturing develops an easier way for the
management to coordinate the factory production
 Decreases number of operators, operation and
time, which in turn increase the profit for the firm….

15. GO LEAN ‘N’ GO GREEN…….
 lean and green is a systematic elimination of
unsustainable practices.
 The tools for lean and the green can be blended to
provide a powerful toolkit for lean and green…
