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.

This document provides an overview of productivity improvement techniques that can be applied in the footwear industry. It defines productivity and discusses how to measure and improve various factors of productivity, including labor, materials, machines, and capital. Japanese productivity improvement techniques like Jidoka, Heijunka, Kaizen, 5S, muda elimination, poka-yoke, SMED, just-in-time, and kanban are explained. The key is to reduce waste and continuously improve processes through small, incremental changes by workers at all levels of the organization.
After discussing the Lean in Accounts Payable Process, here I am discussing, commonly used Lean tools which are used to control different types of wastes. An organization or a manufacturing unit can implement different tool for different process considering the type of waste which is to be controlled.
The worker and machine process chart (Man-machine chart) shows the exact time relationship between the working cycle of a person and the operating cycle of a machine at a specific workstation. It can be used to detect idle time on machines and workers, optimize work distribution, and decide the appropriate number of workers. The example shows a man-machine chart for the current and improved methods of a casting production process. The improved method reduces the cycle time from 2 minutes to 1.4 minutes by decreasing the idle times for both the worker from 0.8 to 0.2 minutes and the machine from 1.2 to 0.6 minutes.
SMED implementation on Automated Stamping LineParth Patel
The company was facing higher machine downtime on the manufacturing line. After carrying out the root cause analysis using various lean tools such as 5W 1H, Ishikawa Diagram, and Pareto Chart conclusion has been made that die changeover is the root cause of the machine downtime. SMED implementation kick-off started with observing the current changeover activities. After that various kind of wastes identified. External and Internal activities separated and internal activities are streamlined using Precedence diagram and Gantt chart. That has resulted in standard work operations and increased parallel activities. The previous changeover time was 252 minutes and after SMED implementation it is estimated that changeover will be completed in 72 minutes.
The document discusses lean manufacturing, which aims to eliminate waste and improve efficiency. It describes key lean techniques like 5S, single minute exchange of dies (SMED), kanban, and cellular manufacturing. The benefits of lean include increased productivity and quality while reducing costs, space, lead times, and inventory. People are an important part of lean success through continuous learning and commitment. Customers also benefit from lean through faster, more reliable delivery of the exact products they want.
The document provides an overview of Lean manufacturing and the Toyota Production System. It discusses how Toyota implemented Lean principles beginning in the 1950s to become highly efficient and profitable. The core concepts of Lean include eliminating waste, reducing lead times, and continuous improvement. Lean aims to optimize flow and pull production using tools like just-in-time, standard work, and visual management. Kaizen events are used to rapidly improve processes by multidisciplinary teams identifying and eliminating sources of waste.
The document discusses World Class Manufacturing (WCM), providing details on:
1. WCM principles focus on eliminating all types of losses through standards, methods, and employee involvement to achieve zero defects, waste, and downtime.
2. Tofaş, a Turkish automaker, achieved a "Silver Level" WCM rating, making it the first Fiat factory to reach this level based on quality, safety, and manufacturing excellence.
3. Main WCM activities include implementing basics like safety training, developing leaders, improving processes for quality, maintenance, and logistics, and making plant investments to increase efficiency and utilization.
“Lean” is a management philosophy based on the Toyota Production System (TPS). With Lean Manufacturing, you will be able to enhance value for your customers by improving and smoothing the process flow and eliminating waste. Simply put, with Lean, you will be able to increase productivity and create greater customer value with less resources.

Description:
Utilizing my one-on-one training by lean experts from Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) in Japan's Toyota City, you'll receive an overview on the main fundamentals that drive the lean management philosophy and learn how you can begin implementing these philosophies in your business. Whether you are a small business owner, entrepreneur, mid-level to senior-level manager or director, you will gain valuable insight on the critical business issues you are facing today and how to utilize lean management principles to recognize areas to reduce costs, add value and change your processes for the better.
We will discuss these key fundamentals of lean management:
o Cost Reduction Principle
o Lead-Time Reduction
o 7 Forms of Waste
o Just-In-Time
o Built-in-Quality (Jidoka)
o Level Scheduling (Heijunka)
o Pull Systems (Kanban)
o Kaizen
Lean manufacturing aims to eliminate waste in production processes through continuous improvement efforts. It focuses on minimizing inventory levels and non-value adding activities to reduce costs and lead times. Toyota pioneered this approach after World War 2 to rebuild efficiently without large economies of scale. Implementing lean principles like just-in-time production and cellular manufacturing allowed Toyota to dramatically reduce production cycle times and outcompete major automakers. A chemical company also successfully applied lean tools to halve inventory levels and cut order fulfillment times from 20 to 5 minutes. Lean techniques organize work areas, maintain equipment, and pull work through production cells to optimize flow.
This presentation provides an overview of Kaizen, a Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement. It discusses how Kaizen involves making small, incremental changes to processes on a continual basis to improve efficiency and quality. The presentation compares Pakistani and Japanese management systems, highlighting how Kaizen focuses on eliminating waste and non-value-adding activities. Examples of how Kaizen has been applied to improve specific processes are presented. The advantages of implementing a Kaizen system and reasons for failures in Pakistan are also summarized.
The document is a presentation on lean manufacturing principles from the website ReadySetPresent.com. It covers topics such as the Toyota Production System house model, the five S system, the two main focuses of lean being continuous improvement and respect for people, the seven types of waste, kanban pull systems, stopping problems to get quality right the first time, becoming a learning organization through reflection and improvement, and Japanese lean terms. The presentation provides over 300 slides on lean foundations and principles.
Productivity is a measure of output per unit of input. It can be increased by improving methods, reducing waste, and better utilizing resources like labor, materials, and capital. Key ways to improve productivity include reducing work content, improving processes through research, standardizing products, improving organization and planning, and motivating workers. Increased productivity benefits management through profits, benefits workers through higher wages and job security, and benefits consumers and the government through economic growth and development.

This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

Integration of Indian Indigenous Knowledge System in Management Prospects and...ijtsrd
The diversity of indigenous knowledge systems in India is vast and can vary significantly between different communities and regions. Preserving and respecting these knowledge systems is crucial for maintaining cultural heritage, promoting sustainable practices, and fostering cross cultural understanding. In this paper, an overview of the prospects and challenges associated with incorporating Indian indigenous knowledge into management is explored. It is found that IIKS helps in management in many areas like sustainable development, tourism, food security, natural resource management, cultural preservation and innovation, etc. However, IIKS integration with management faces some challenges in the form of a lack of documentation, cultural sensitivity, language barriers legal framework, etc. Savita Lathwal "Integration of Indian Indigenous Knowledge System in Management: Prospects and Challenges" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-8 | Issue-1 , February 2024, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd63500.pdf Paper Url: https://www.ijtsrd.com/management/accounting-and-finance/63500/integration-of-indian-indigenous-knowledge-system-in-management-prospects-and-challenges/savita-lathwal

1. INTRODUCTION:
With manufacturing becoming a more and more
competitive market, companies globally strive to
increase their efficiency. Increasing labor costs in
many industrialized countries, as well as reducing and
controlling operating costs, are just a few reasons
companies choose to move or outsource their
operations. Typically a majority of companies
outsource to countries where wages are low and
production costs are lower. To reduce cost and remain
competitive with manufacturers abroad, companies
use a variety of different methods. One of the main
methods is called “lean manufacturing.” The main
principle of lean manufacturing is to reduce waste in
an operation, such as long lead times, defects and
material waste. In order to visually display where
waste occurs in the process, a value stream map
(VSM) is drawn. VSMs are often used to assess
current manufacturing processes as well as create
ideal, future state processes. With the manufacturing
field escalating and spreading more widely across the
globe, it is important for companies to adapt to the
increasing and evolving business strategies.
For this project we worked with the manufacturing
company, Muththamizh Industries, in New
Dharapuram Road, Palani. We focused on the
company’s main product, the “Chaff Cutter” tha

manufacture this machine in different sizes, based on
the requirement of the customer. In the industry the
whole product is manufactured within itself, that is all
operation required to form the complete product was
within. The total lead time right from the procurement
of raw materials till the finished product is quality
checked is about 3.34 days.
With the initial project research and further
investigation, the team found out that the Value
stream mapping has so far not been used by the
industry as a tool for operational improvements. The
team efforts were the first in that direction. Our
primary project goal was to reduce the current lead
time by at least 20% In order to achieve that goal, we
had to document the current state of the production
process. With the creation of an initial and final state
VSM, we were able to draw conclusions based on the
research and data we accumulated, and we were able
to achieve the primary goal of the project. We
achieved these operational improvements through the
optimization of delivery times and inventory levels
and also reduced the total lead time.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Starting in the early 1900’s Henry Ford “married
consistently interchangeable parts with standard work
and moved conveyance to create what he called flow
production.” Not soon after WWI the Toyota
Production System, TPS, introduced lean
manufacturing concepts into the manufacturing
industry (“A Brief History of Lean” 2007).
Lean Manufacturing has increasingly been applied by
leading manufacturing companies throughout the
world. It has proven to have many positive outcomes
which include such concepts as reduced cycle time,
decreased cost, reduction of defects and waste. Lean
manufacturing aims to achieve the same output with
less input; such as less time, less space, less human
effort, less machinery, less material and less cost. To
better understand lean manufacturing, one first needs
to understand the basic principles that guide it. Some
major lean manufacturing principles include:
recognizing wastes, having standard processes, having
a continuous flow, pull-production, quality at the
source and maintaining continuous improvement.
According to the TPS, there are seven original wastes
known as “muda,” which means “waste” in Japanese.
In order to create a lean working environment, these
wastes need to be identified and depleted. The first
muda is overproduction, which is producing more
than necessary, or more than is needed by the
costumer. The second muda is the presence of defects.
Defects in products lead to more costs and waste of
production time, as well as the effort involved in
inspecting and fixing defects. The third waste is
inventory. Inventory could lead to added storage costs
as well as higher defect rates. Even if there is no
“inventory fee,” large inventories cost company
money because it increases their operating costs. The
fourth muda is transportation, which could be
transporting goods from one factory to another.
Transportation, strictly seen, is a non-value added
activity, so companies strive to lower transportation
distances. The fifth muda, waiting, is very important
to lean manufacturing because this is one of the main
wastes that production companies want to minimize.
Waiting causes waste of time and money. The sixth
waste is over processing. Over processing is
unintentionally doing more processing work than the
customer requires, which can lead to higher costs by
using more resources than needed. The final waste is
unnecessary motion. Walking from operation to
operation or around the factory floor when not
necessary, slows down the workers and overall slows
down the flow of production (Mekong, 2004).
Detecting and diminishing these wastes within the
production process will overall help to create a lean
working environment within a company.
3. LEAN MANUFACTURING
Lean manufacturing or lean production, often
simply "lean", is a systematic method for waste
minimization within a manufacturing system without
sacrificing productivity. Working from the
perspective of the client who consumes a product or
service, "value" is any action or process that a
customer would be willing to pay for. Lean
manufacturing makes obvious what adds value, by
reducing everything else (which is not adding value).
Lean Manufacturing is an enterprise-wide
strategy for achieving excellence:
by creating value (from the customer's
perspective)
by creating a culture of continuous performance
improvement and working to eliminate all waste
of resources and time

By creating high quality, stable processes and
emphasizing respect for people throughout the
organization.
This management philosophy is derived mostly from
the Toyota Production System (TPS) and identified as
"lean" only in the 1990s.TPS is renowned for its focus
on reduction of the original Toyota seven wastes to
improve overall customer value. The steady growth
of Toyota, from a small company to the world's
largest automaker, has focused attention on how it has
achieved this success. Table 3.1shows the difference

Why do we need process mapping?
Process mapping is one of the top level tools of Lean
manufacturing, by this I mean it is a tool that
identifies the areas and steps required for
improvement within the organization by using the
other tools of lean manufacturing. By using the
various mapping tools that are available we can
identify the various process steps that either add value
or cost us money within company. A future state map
provides us with this clear vision that we need to
achieve and provides the team with direction. Fig 4.1
shows value stream cycle.
Fig 4.1 value stream cycle
5. METRICS USED IN VSM
Lead Time:
Lead time is the latency between the initiation and
execution of a process. Lead time is examined closely
in manufacturing and supply chain management as
companies want to reduce the amount of time it takes
to deliver products to the market.
Cycle Time:
Cycle time is the period required to complete one
cycle of an operation or to complete a function, job or
task from start to finish.
Setup Time:
Period required to prepare device, machine, process or
system for it to be ready to function or accept a job.
Value added time:
Value added time is made up of processes that
improve products. This is the amount of time it takes
to actually produce the product. Obviously,
production time is a value added time because it
creates a product from raw materials.
Non value added time:
Non-value added time is amount of the production
cycle time that does not directly produce goods or
services. In other words, this is the amount of time
that goods are not actively being worked on.
6. DATA INTERPRETED FROM CURRENT
VSM
From the current value stream map we could see that
the total processing time for the product was 14.45
hours and the lead time was 3.2 days. The Lead time
of 3.34 days is bit higher and it is due to various
wastes. This is due to various delays and errors in
different stages. Fig 6.1 shows Value stream map for
gas cutting section.

Accurate process planning is not done before the start
of manufacturing, this leads To interruptions in work
flow. During the manufacturing of mirror casing and
blade plates the flow got interrupted since both the
components have to undergo drilling oper
same time. Hence the worker waited till alternate
worker got succeeded. This leads to wastage of
manpower. Also due to interference of work flow the
utilization of tools and machines was also delayed due
to simultaneous working.
Total lead time in hrs = 22.4hrs

flow. During the manufacturing of mirror casing and
blade plates the flow got interrupted since both the
components have to undergo drilling operation at a
same time. Hence the worker waited till alternate
worker got succeeded. This leads to wastage of
manpower. Also due to interference of work flow the
utilization of tools and machines was also delayed due

The main problem identified is that since individual
components are manufactured completely by an
individual workers, the successive operations are
carried out by them. This leads to increase in setup
time. In the manufacturing of Casing, the worker
performed Gas cutting operation, followed by other
successive operations required. Whereas the Blade
Mounter component also requires Gas Cutting
operation but it is carried out by a worker at another
period of time. This leads to two different setup
From this it is clear that there is no grouping of

Lead time if processes are grouped= 20.9 hrs
% of time excess = ((1.5/22.4) *100 = 6.67%
Since there is no proper flow, they could not use
maximum utilization of manpower and machineries.
At a certain period of time both Casing and Blade
plate enters the drilling operation, whereas after a
certain period of time the machine was in idle
condition. During the manufacturing of Casing and
Blade both the components were forced to undergo
the drilling operation at the same time. This causes
Bottlenecks in the manufacturing process. At this
Stage the drilling machine was not utilized
effectively. In order to overcome this bottlenecks the
components have to be prioritized in the way
considering the further machining operations to be
carried out in the particular component. In this case,
the casing should be drilled first because it requires
lot more operation to be followed to obtain a complete
product. This helps to enable flow.
There is no proper stock maintenance in the industry,
therefore the shortages of raw materials are identified
only during the manufacturing time. Therefore the
work could not be continued and got stagnated till the
material is purchased. As a result the operation gets
prolonged. During the painting process, after the
prime coating is painted, there is shortage of paint for
sheet metal painting, therefore the operation got stuck
till the labor purchased the paint.
Total lead time in hrs = 22.4hrs
Wasted time = 1hr
If stock is maintained to meet requirements, 1hr can
be reduced
Lead time if processes are grouped = 21.4 hrs
% of time excess = ((1)/22.4) *100 = 4.475%
Standardized work practices are not followed leading
to avoidable wastage of time. The worker was not
carrying the required tools for doing the specific
operation at the start of manufacturing. Instead he gets
to the tool when he finds that the tool was missing.
Also after the process gets completed the worker
leaves the workspace without arranging the tools in
their respective place. This leads to wastage of time
for finding the tools when required for alternative
process.
These errors lead to increased lead time and also
delayed product delivery. Also, tradeoffs in design
and final product were also made to a small extent.
– 4.5 to 5hrs can be reduced
– Total lead time – 22.4hrs
– Time that can be reduced – 4.5hrs
– % of excess time – ((4.5)/22.5)*100= 20%
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
Dimensional specifications for the parts to be
manufactured was not clearly provided via drawings.
Sample components were referred for dimensions
repeatedly and workers communicated several times
with each other. Measurements were noted at the
beginning as well as during the working. Reworking
of components due to less information also happened.
This causes slow work flow and several stoppages
during the machining of the component paving way
for 6.69% of the total lead time. Waste can be avoided
by providing engineering drawings of the component
to be manufactured with legible necessary
specifications. By implementing this into practice, the
non-value added time can be reduced.

Process planning was not done in the industry.
Functioning of the industry in terms of manufacturing
components at required pace was not possible. Several
stoppages and interferences occurred. Lack of proper
direction and coordination among the workers
affected was a critical factor affecting the lead time.
Resources, manpower were underutilized on a regular
basis. Efficiency of output compared to the resources
available was less. This lead to 4% wastage of overall
lead time. In order to overcome this, process planning
was done and a route sheet was obtained before the
start of manufacturing. Process plan consists of
various information necessary to manufacture a
component. It includes various machining operations
involved, machines and tools required, manpower,
material, time, sequence in which operations to be
performed, etc. This helped to create proper
information, material flow. Proper allocation of work,
effective utilization of manpower, machine resources
utilization, less interference among work could be
achieved through this.

Since individual components are manufactured
completely by an individual workers, the successive
operations are carried out by them. This leads to
increase in setup time. In the manufacturing of
Casing, the worker performed Gas cutting operation,
followed by other successive operations required.
Whereas the Blade Mounter component also requires
Gas Cutting operation but it is carried out by a worker
at another period of time. This leads to two different
setup times. From this it is clear that there is no
grouping of operations to be carried out in a similar
fashion. Grouping of operations based on the
processes involved can be done to a certain level.

Redundancy occurred in the whole process.
Components were grouped based on the
common operations they have to undergo. Here we
group gas cutting operation to occur at a specified
time in a single stage itself. This reduces additional
setup time and saves upto 6.67% of the total lead
time.
There is no proper stock maintenanc
therefore the shortages of raw materials are identified
only during the manufacturing time. Therefore the
work could not be continued and got stagnated till the
material is purchased. As a result the operation gets
prolonged. This consumed 4.47% of total lead time.
Maintaining a checklist to identify the availability of
raw materials required to meet the demands was
adopted. Practicing this, helps to visualize the
requirements prior to the beginning of the
manufacturing process. Thereby,
sudden interruption during the process. This also
helps to avoid the disruption of pull. By adopting this
procedure the excess non value added time spent
4.47% can be eliminated.
Standardized work practices are not followed leading
to avoidable wastage of time. In order to standardize
the working process and the environment 5S process
was adopted. The importance of practicing 5S was
emphasized to the workers. The workers implemented
the tool in the shop floor. The tools were kept in
proper places. The shop floor was maintained clean.
CONCLUSION
By the implementation of Lean manufacturing at the
shop floor, the product lead time was reduced. The
comparison of future stream map with Current Stream
map shows that the lead the lead time of the product
was reduced to 20% than the initial lead time.
Therefore our primary objective of the project was
achieved. Also the lean manufacturing tools
implemented such as 5s, Kaizen Burst will pay way
for the Standardized working environment and strives
towards the success of the organization effectively.
From the project, the importance of lean
manufacturing and lean tools such as 5S was clearly
explained to the employees of the industry. The
knowledge they gained will help them to strive
towards standardized working environment with the
elimination of wastes wherever possible. By periodic
analysis of the manufacturing process using value
stream mapping, the continuous improvement can be
afforded.On successive stages of improvement idle
state can be achieved in production process.
