Abstract:
Implementation of lean manufacturing very
helpful to all manufacturing arrangement. It reduces all kind
of waste and non-value added activities. Today many
companies choose lean concept because today market is
very tough and to survive its product to this market lean is
beneficial. Lean is very wide concept. It is applicable to all
type of different organization like automotive, piece of
clothing, electronics, ceramic objects etc. There are many
tools and techniques available for lean. Companies are
selected tools as per its requirement. There are many large,
small and medium sized companies obey the lean
manufacturing concept. Lean mainly includes involvement
of management and involvement of employees. Some
companies develop its own lean strategy which helpful to
reduce wastes and improve quality. Here I motivated to
apply lean concept in manufacturing system i.e. automobile
industry.Today industries are facing various problems
related to quality and customer demand. The present study
has been undertaken for analyzing different types of wastes
in a Diesel Locomotive Plant’s Light Machine Shop
(camshaft section) with an aim to design strategies for
developing and implementing a Lean Manufacturing
Program in such machine shops. The study has been carried
out in a phased manner. For the purpose of modeling for
developing a strategy for implementation, the controls
identified have been grouped into broad generalized
category Expert opinion has been utilized to identify factors
and parameters affecting development of a generalized
approach for implementation. . Generalized of various
measures for developing an approach to be used by industry
in future has been suggested using expert belief. It has
further been suggested that the implementation of the
development approach be carried out in three phases. With
the help of lean we increase production rate and improve
quality.
