The document discusses lean thinking in manufacturing industries in Ethiopia. It defines lean as eliminating waste to reduce costs and improve quality and delivery. Traditional manufacturing is compared to lean, which focuses on eliminating overproduction, inventory, transportation, motion, and defects. The benefits of lean include lower costs, higher quality, and better customer satisfaction. Ethiopia's manufacturing sector has grown but contributes only a small portion to GDP. Postgraduate training programs are needed to develop lean thinkers and skills to help manufacturing industries in Ethiopia become more competitive through collaboration between universities and industries.
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.

At the present scenario, the Lean Manufacturing has become a worldwide phenomenon. A large number of organizations are following Lean technologies and experiencing vast improvement in quality, production, customer service and profitability. Muththamizh industries in Palani is a manufacturing company that manufactures variety of agricultural oriented machines. In this work to adopt the Lean manufacturing concept in this industry by using Value Stream Mapping (VSM) technique and to reduce the wastes such as long lead time, defects, material waste etc. Our project focuses on creating current and future state value stream maps which, when implemented will decrease the current lead time of manufacturing thereby improving the productivity of industrial shop floor. From their products, the team chose Chaff cutter machine as a product family and worked on them. From the Current Value Stream Map created the lead time for the product is found to be 3 to 3.34 days right from the processing of raw materials till the product is ready to be shipped. From the map created, various stages that contains bottlenecks in production were clearly identified and remedial measures were taken to eliminate those bottlenecks. Various lean tools such as Kaizen Bursts, 5S and other methods to eliminate the wastes were identified and implemented effectively. After remedial measures were adopted the data is tracked again and Future Value Stream Map is drawn. From the map it was clear that the lead time for the product was reduced to a certain extent of up to 4 hours. Therefore our primary goal of the object was achieved by adopting lean techniques and the productivity and efficiency of the organization was increased. G. Saravanan | R. Karthikeyan | S.

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

The Toyota Company is the biggest auto-manufacture in the world. T.docxssusera34210
The Toyota Company is the biggest auto-manufacture in the world. The company headquarters are located in Japan but has global plants in Europe, North America, Australia and Asia. The company has indulged in a customer driven philosophy that has kept top amid economic recession in Europe and North America, its chief customers. This philosophy is known by the company employees as the Toyota Production system (TPS). The three main objectives of this philosophy includes: providing their customers with the best quality vehicles in terms of cost and timely delivery, to treat their employees in such a way that they are satisfies with their jobs and ensure job security. Thirdly, TPS intends to give the company flexibility to respond to market while recording returns through cost reduction measures (Wilson, 2012).
According to Toyota (2012) TPS has the responsibility of minimizing wastes and overloading its employees. It works to ensure that the whole process of production through distribution flows smoothly and efficiently. The integration of human and mechanical resources to ensure maximum quality of the cars as well as improving efficiency and reduction of wastes is the foundation philosophy of the Toyota Company and defines best kaizen. To achieve this, the employees continuously work to improve the standards of increasing their efficiency and waste elimination. This is called kaizen in Japanese ‘or change for the better’ in English. The kaizen was invented by Toyota decades ago and have since acquired a universal acceptance. Just in time production was also coined by the same company in an effort to respond to the forces of demand and supply. The whole process is initiated once the customer places an order to the company. The company then moves to produce the exact parts ordered, assemble and dispatch the car. This limits the production of inventory since production is proportional to the magnitude of the demand (Toyota. (2012).
Lean Production 2
For instance, if the company received a daily order of 400 cars and happen to be operating in 920 minutes daily, the takt time (from German ‘taktzeit’ meaning cycle time) will amount to 2.3 minutes. If this time is operated at a minimum, then the resources will be increased.
Jidoka is a Japanese word for automation. The Toyota Company defines the word as 'automation with a human touch'. This allows all employees the responsibility to stop the production process in case he or she identifies a problem within the production line (Toyota, 2012).
Lean Production Philosophy
Lean production encompasses the reduction of wastages through labor, inventory management, time, space with the primary objective of delivering high quality products. This strategy strives at responding to the market needs through introduction of the right product in the right place in the quantity in the right time. In turn, the production process helps in the realization of reduced wastes and responds to fluctuating market demands. The pr ...
To survive in the market, the goal is to produce goods at the least time possible and at the lowest cost. Thus, Lean implementation is the best decision for productivity improvement.
Productivity describes various measures of the efficiency of production. A productivity measure is expressed as the ratio of output to inputs used in a production process, i.e. output per unit of input. Productivity is a crucial factor in production performance of firms and nations, thus productivity describes various measures of the efficiency of production.

3. Introduction
Industrial development strategy is the main Goal of
GTP2.
In transforming industries from ground level planned
stage, it needs lean thinking approach as one of the
bests transforming change
It also needs strong participation of higher institution
in manpower development like IOT’s and Industrial
sectors
The over all growth transformation of Ethiopia is
based on education quality and over all coverage
When Citizen knowledge and innovation improved,
then transform the growth to the next platform

4. Definition
Lean reduces cost, improves quality, and speeds delivery by
eliminating non-value added activity in a process by identifying
and eliminating waste.
Lean is defined as a process that includes five steps: the
first step is defining customer value, then defining value
stream, making it ‘flow’, establish pull, and last is
striving for excellence (Nadia et al,2006)
Waste is defined as any human activity which absorbs
resources but creates no value
Value is defined by (Womack & Jones, 1996) as a capability
provided to a customer at the right time at an appropriate

5. Background of Lean
Lean 1st founded WWII Japan in 1940 (Sakichi Toyoda and chief engineer
Taiichi Ohno)
Toyota Production System (TPS) grounded in the systematic elimination
of what Toyota identified as the eight deadly wastes.
Mass production Lean production
Basis Hennery Ford (standard Motors
company)
Toyota (Varied Motor products)
People-design Narrowly skilled professionals Team of multi-skilled workers at all levels in the
organizations
People -
production
Unskilled or semi-skilled workers Team of multi-skilled workers at all levels in the
organizations
Equipment Experts, single purpose machines Manual and automatized systems which can
produce large volume with large product variety
Production
methods
Makes high volume of
standardized products
Make the product which the customers ordered
Organizational
philosophy
Hierarchical- management take
responsibility
Value streams using appropriate levels of
empowerment- pushing responsibility further

3 Transportation Moving tools/materials to the point of use, moving products
that are not actually required to perform the processing

The Lean Enterprise Research Centre (LERC,
2004) at Cardiff Business School highlighted
that for most production operations:
5% of activities add value;
35% are necessary non-value adding
activities;
60% add no value at all.
The ultimate goal of lean is to avoid the eight
deadly wastes in production process
Hence, lean production is a continuous process
8. Comparisons of traditional and lean organization
(MELTON, 2005)
Concepts Traditional organization Lean organization
Inventory An asset, as defined by
accounting terminology
A waste- ties up a capital & increases
increases processing lead-time
Ideal economic
order quantity
and batch size
Very large- run large batch
sizes to make up for process
downtime
One- continuous efforts are made to
reduce down time to zero
People
utilization
All people must be busy at all
all time
Because work is performed based
directly upon customer demand, people
people might not be busy
Process
utilization
Use high speed processes and
and run them all the time
Processes need to only be designed to
to keep up with demand
Work
scheduling
Build products to forecast Build products to demand
Labor costs Variable fixed
Accounting Traditional (functional)
departments
Cross-functional teams
9. Forces opposing and driving a
change to lean
Being
Lean
Forces Supporting Lean Forces Resisting Lean
• The need to get closer to customers in an
increasingly competitive environment
• The desire to be compliant in an increasingly
regulated environment
The potential benefits:
Financial- decreased operating costs, potential
capital avoidance
Customers- better understanding of their needs
Quality –more robust processes leading to less
error
People- empowered multi skilled teams
Knowledge- increased understanding of the
whole supply chain including the
Natural resistances to change seen as :
• Skepticism/doubt on the validity of the
lean philosophy
• “We have seen this before” assuming “lean”
is another improvement initiative or
“fad/fashion”
• Lack of availability of time – too busy with
the “day job”
• Concerns about time impact of change on
regulatory compliance (SHE, quality, etc.)
Production culture:
• Large campaigns, large batches, minimal
change overs, never stop producing
• Manufacturing drives the supply chain-
10. Principles of Lean
Critical Success Factors in lean thinking are:
Top Management Support,
Focus on the Goal,
Focus on the long Term,
Involve everyone at all levels of the organization and
Involve customers and supplies.
11. Benefits of Lean Manufacturing
1. Financial benefits of Lean Manufacturing :
• Reduction of circulating assets (stock and in-process materials):
reduction of capital used, increase in cash-in-hand, improved return on
investment,
• Work on productivity and profitability,
• improving the bottom line by reducing production costs
2. Industrial benefits of Lean Manufacturing :
• Less investment for same level of production
• Increased production at constant investment
• Ecological production, more compact plants
• Improved quality.
3. Commercial benefits of Lean Manufacturing :
• Production in phase with customer demand,
• Reduction of delivery times, and
• Greater customer satisfaction.

12. Ethiopian government has taken initiative in 2010 to
commence the GTP where greater emphasis has been given to
manufacturing sectors which are:
labour intensive ,
have linkages to the rest of the economy,
use agricultural output as inputs ,
export oriented and substitute import and
contribute to rapid technology transfer. (EEA, 2013).
Since 2000 - 2012/13 the sector is growing at an average
growth rate of 10.6% annually and a less than the industry
average growth rate is recorded in the manufacturing sector,
whereby it grows at an average rate of 8.6% within the
specified period.
Ethiopian Manufacturing Industries
Level
13. Ethiopian ---cont’d
Medium and large scale manufacturing industries
have registered a figure between the above two rates
where its average annual growth rate has been 9.9%
over the same ranges of years
The manufacturing sector contributes only 3.7% at
the end of GTP of 2011/12 and is declined from
6.4% of 2003/04 (Amare et al., 2015)
Average of three years value at constant factor price
for manufacturing value added has been found 8.9
billion birr (before GTP1) and 13.12 billion birr
(after GTP1).
The leading manufacturing sector has been taken by
14. Ethiopia---- Cont’d
Heavy industries such as chemicals and basic
iron and steel are
found to be import intensive
While the light categories and others are domestic
resource intensive ones.
So, in our country’s context, the share of Industrial
sector in general and the manufacturing sector in
particular is not only unsatisfactory but also
declining
The share of the manufacturing sector industries in
GDP has further shrunk as evidenced from the
declined figure of 6.4% in 2003/04 to 3.7%
15. Ethiopia---- Cont’d
Basic iron and steel firm had used to import 93% of
its input requirement before GTP (7%)
It has shown a reduction in its imported resource
proportion over the first three GTP implementation
periods to 91% import proportions (9%)
The government has intentionally devalued the local
currencies from 10.96birr/USD in 2009/10 base
year to 17.34birr/USD in 2012 and further to
20.28birr/USD in 2015 as a discouraging tool to
import.
Manufacturing industry dominated by the food,
beverages, leather, textiles, and apparel industries,
16. Export Values of manufacturing sectors
The money value of export of Food and Beverage rose from
2.77million birr (2010) to 12.52million birr (2012).
The average receipt from Textile has been 0.86 million (before)
17. The industry has improved its export performance
over the periods scoring a larger amount of earnings
earnings in the GTP from 0.20million birr in 2009 to
2009 to 0.96million birr by 2011.
However, it is not an achievement and rather it needs
needs industries collaboration with
institutions/universities to bring radical changes in
leaning manufacturing
But the GTP has not been able to foster and
accelerate structural transformation of the economy
Export ---cont’d
18. Employment
Well matured and efficient manufacturing sector raises
national incomes and creates demand for the traditional
sector products and provides growing employment
opportunities (Martins,2015).
It is at the heart of modernization of the economy.
Regardless of this, being at its immature level in Ethiopia,
total employment in major manufacturing industries grew
still in thousands out of 90 million from 93,500 workers in
2000 to 132,172 in 2008 and 200,014 in 2012.
Annual average employment growth rate of 11.48% during
2008-2012
So far, Ethiopia has not made significant progress in
pulling labor out of agriculture into more productive and
20. Why Postgraduate Training program
development?
To lean manufacturing industries through diffusion of
knowledge
More literate and trainable labor force could make
Ethiopia more attractive to international firms seeking
low-wage countries (Chandra et al. 2013).
To Satisfy High demand of professional training of local
society at proximity
To Upgrade knowledge in line with technological
changes beyond usual training
To introduce way how to innovate products /modify it
21. Why Postgraduate Training program development?
Poor supply of appropriately skilled labor as a major obstacle
to improving the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector
in Ethiopia(World bank, 2012).
The reason, Ethiopian manufacturing sector is still relatively
underdeveloped and not heavily reliant on more technical
production is due to lack of skill.
In the medium term, poor nations need to invest in overall
improvement in education quality, with special focus on
science and technology (Ansu & Tan, 2012).
To increase productivity of firms Ethiopia’s education sector
will need to develop and supply the appropriate managerial,
technical and soft skills within the workforce
22. Why Postgraduate training program … cont’d
To graduate engineers who are equipped with management
knowledge (engineering optimization +MGT skills)
To initiate culture of researches that helps to conduct
investigation of natural resources from renewable energy (Sun+
wind+ underground+ water)and others
To enhance culture that initiate collaborative works
Skills shortages in Ethiopia constitute a key constraint to
growth and improved productivity in the manufacturing
sector(World Bank, 2012)
To develop linkage between:
University- industry (through teachers & learners)
Industry-industry (through learners experience sharing at
23. Conclusion
In general the contribution of lean thinking to
manufacturing starts at institutions and bring changes
to starved professional industries
It is demand of government to transform the economy of
citizen from agricultural lead to industry lead economy.
In order to do this, we should produce lean thinkers
professionals
This program opening is the steeping stone where the
local industrial employees get the chance to upgrade
them selves and bring lean thinking in manufacturing
The integration between industry, university,
university-industry will be strong one demanding the
other.
