This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An efficient manufacturing process is the essence of sustainability. The old thinking was that the companies adopting environmentally friendly processes add costs. But now with the new thinking which emphasizes on green practices like recycling, reusing and reducing waste can cut costs because they make a company more efficient. Today's corporation is becoming enlightened to the fact that green manufacturing can enhance more profitable manufacturing through a new concept called lean manufacturing. In the 1980′s just-in-time techniques became popular in all organisations as they saved costs from production by eliminating the need for high levels of inventories by focusing on using just what was needed, when it was needed. Lean manufacturing takes this one step further and focuses on the elimination of all wastes in the production process. This results in higher value to the customer, less raw materials waste, less wasted worker effort, and an overall greener and more profitable company. Lean manufacturing will result in lower material and labour costs and greater production revenues. There is a need to bridging the continuous improvement gap between operational performance and environmental performance. This conceptual paper “A Study of sustainable manufacturing through lean manufacturing - An excogitation paradigm” focuses on the benefits of lean in relation to green manufacturing. It explores the linkages between lean manufacturing principles and the benefits of green manufacturing.

Download or read book LEAN AND AGILE MANUFACTURING written by S. R. DEVADASAN and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary fastidious companies are required to eliminate wastes and offer value-added products and services to the customers, which requirement is fulfilled by adopting the paradigm called ‘lean manufacturing’. On the other side, futuristic companies surge towards reaching the twenty-first century mission by reacting quickly in accordance with the dynamic demands of the modern customers, for which researchers have been developing a paradigm called ‘agile manufacturing’. Although various techniques and tools are applied, cohesive procedures are yet to be evolved to implement these paradigms systematically and successfully in companies. In this context, this book is evolved to address students, academics, practitioners and researchers for gaining theoretical, practical and research futuristic knowledge on lean and agile manufacturing paradigms. Organised in 18 chapters, the text opens with a historical overview of lean and agile manufacturing paradigms. It then discusses the lean manufacturing principles with their application procedures. The book comprehensively analyses the methods of implementation of lean manufacturing paradigm in both traditional and moderate organisations. It also gives an equal treatment to the implementation of agile manufacturing paradigm under four drivers such as management driver, technology driver, manufacturing strategy driver and competition driver through the adoption of appropriate agile manufacturing criteria. The book concludes with a discussion of lean and agile manufacturing paradigms from the perspectives of academia, researchers and practitioners. The text is well supported by a large number of self-test questions with their answers. A unique feature of the book is the inclusion of research avenues at the end of each chapter, which enable the readers to carry out researches on these paradigms. This book is intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of industrial, manufacturing, production and mechanical engineering.

Download or read book Waste Free Manufacturing Using Lean Paradigms Case Study Of A SME written by Ritesh Kumar Singh and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wastes are present in the industries in the form of layers at macro level and at micro level. The Elimination of all wastes cannot be achieved overnight. It requires years of continuous improvement efforts for elimination of the wastes present in the system. The identification of vital wastes which have more impact on the performance of the organization and the selection of the detailed mapping tools for the identification of waste at micro level is a complex decision making problem. In this book the principals of lean manufacturing have been adopted for minimization of waste that exist in the manufacturing industries in the form of operational inefficiency and leads to increase in the production cost and the manufacturing lead time.

This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The customers prefer small lot sizes, multimodels with model variations, short delivery lead times, and low cost. The organization that cannot transition to the new manufacturing paradigm of buyer-centric strategy, their rigidity of the current mass production (seller-centric), will eliminate them from the industry. There are many organizations that implemented robotics and automation to reduced labor, but, they have also increased their changeover time and made the internal processes more complex, rigid and created imbalance to the flow due to the single-minded focus of only labor reduction. To survive and succeed in the fierce market competition, the organizations must transition to the new manufacturing paradigm. The organizations must develop their people capabilities, agility, speed, responsiveness and be able to deliver products at the lowest cost. The concept of mass production of large lot sizes and lesser model changeovers are not acceptable, this thinking must be evaporated to succeed in the new customer-centric business. This book introduces practically proven concepts that will transition the manufacturing organization from the mass production focus built on rigidity to a high-performing organization equipped with agility, flexibility, short lead times, multimodel production, and new organization culture that drives daily continuous improvement and problem-solving. This book shows the whats and hows to transition to the new manufacturing paradigm and successfully compete to win in the fierce customer-centric business.
