1 No quick results
2 Considerable criticism on Lean Manufacturing
Chetan HG  |  Supported idea  "No quick results"  |  2 years ago
I partly agree with you on the "No Quick results" part. But I am sorry to disagree on your point that keeping workforce idle is going to be difficult. THe whole idea behind lean is to ensure continuous flow and minimum idle time. AS far as...

Hai Isha In my opinion Lean Manufacturing has no standard methodologies to implement it. First we need to study the organization and we need to plan the stages / Phases of implementation. If enough planning is not there will be a lot of bottlenecks in...

                          10 ways to improve manufacturing productivity I think manufacturing performance and production analysis improves productivity with full production machine data collection systems.

Nice article Isha and point added by Shyam & Hardik are also worth. My suggestion is POKA YOKE to be introduced in the process to avoid the regections, which will improve the productivity.

Dear All Nice article and useful comments... In my view, implementation of any technique will be complete only when there is a mutual involvement of the implementer as well as the end user of the implemented process. If the end user is interested...

1 Improper implementation
2 Training
Subikash Roy  |  Added idea  "Lean cannot start without understanding Takt time and how to use it"  |  2 years ago
We are trying to implement Lean Manufacturing in isolation. Lean manufacturing starts from the customer's demand which sets the Takt time. Once you start to set your pace working to the Takt time, problems surface. However, Top Management is not...

Dear Vinit, I also support you. In my opinion Implementation of any management philosophy is very difficult without proper training. In Lean manufacturing, it is very difficult because it’s not just improving productivity or so... it needs full...
k.nanda kumar  |  Supported idea  "Improper implementation"  |  3 years ago
People wanted to implement lean manufacturing without having the purpose of implementation. They some time fix goals which maynot be relavant. Which inturn misguide the consultant as well as the company which atlast make the system to fail.
