Application of Lean in a Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Segment- A Case Study of Electronics and Electrical Manufacturing Industry in India

Abstract

Manufacturing organizations have adopted the concept of lean manufacturing in order to improve the quality of their products and reduce their wastes. This is done by ensuring that products are assessed or evaluated at each and every stage hence costs are reduced. In this study two methods of data collection were used, questionnaires and interviews. The responses in both methods indicated that most of the respondents were in the electrical production and quality assurance department. Continuous improvement program was indicated as the main driving force for the implementation of lean manufacturing. Preventive maintenance was the highly rated in the level of adoption. Lack of effective senior management was indicated as the main barrier of lean manufacturing implementation in the company.
