The last few decades have observed the intense global competition, increasing demand of variety of products, reduced product life cycles, fast technological development and also difficulty in assessing of prediction the demand accurately. To be profitable and competitive, the industry has to be quick to respond to the fast fluctuating world in which, emerging economies, new concepts and philosophies of doing business, technical developments and ever varying needs of customers pose serious challenges to its survival. This research focuses the various types of manufacturing systems like dedicated manufacturing system (DMS), flexible manufacturing system (FMS), lean manufacturing system (LMS) and reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS). In the present work the limitations of the manufacturing system, various research and development issues related to advance manufacturing system have been discussed.
Lean Manufacturing System works in every area of the value stream by reducing waste in order to reduce lead time, minimizing cost, optimal arrangement of activities, and remain competitive in a rising global market. This research attentions the implementation of lean philosophy in brake lining company with focuses on arrangement of resources. In the present work the use of Lean Manufacturing is to generate strategies to eliminate waste on the shop floor. The Lean Manufacturing tools such as Kaizen were employed to decrease the waste. This paper describes a case study considering changeover time as a performance measures to improve the flow of production by arranging the operations activities. Finally the results obtained show the improvement in the shop floor region.
