“…1,". It's detected from these figures that WIP between each process are not the same and very high, the total lead time is higher than the real lead time, the value added time is much smaller than the real than the real value added time and the number of raw materials in assembly line is much longer than required, which indicate that the assembly line of current production system was unbalance production system, as well as, overproduction and large inventory have found in the assembly line of current production system [1,2].…”

“…Hence, goal time was used instead of Takt time during implementing lean manufacturing and drawing future VSM to vanish the effects of uncontrolled lost time and access to one piece flow system [1,4]. Goal time is the percentage of takt time determined by authors and company as " (2)," [4,5].…”

“…This is the harsh reality facing the manufacturing industry today. Manufacturers in the electronics industry have always faced heightened challenges such as rising customers' expectation, fluctuating demand, and competition in markets [2]. There is no doubt that these manufacturers are always embracing changes and improvements in their key activities or processes to cope with the challenges [3].…”

“…Lean manufacturing uses less of everything compared to mass production -half the human effort in the factory, half the manufacturing space, half the investment in tools, and half the engineering hours to develop a new product [5]. Lean manufacturing was successfully implemented in automotive industries, steel making industries, Aerospace industries, Machine tool industries, Newspapers industries, Service industries, Electrical and Electronics' industries [1,2,4,5,6 ].…”

Abstract-The aims of this research is to apply, investigate the adoption of lean manufacturing in industrial systems especially the electronics industry and re-design this system according to the different concepts of lean manufacturing by elaborating a pull-oriented manufacturing system. This research was applied at the assembly line of Sunny Egypt Company for Electronics Industry which related to Union Air Group at Egypt. Cathode ray tube 14'' model television was selected from the products of the company for improvement. The Results acquired from this research showed that the application of lean manufacturing in industrial systems increases productivity, profit, improves quality, eliminates wastes, decreases cycle times, work in progress, inventory, raw materials, costs and number of worker. This research can be useful in developing a more generic approach to design lean environment.

PurposeThe aim of this study is to develop a framework for the implementation of a Supplier Kanban System.Design/methodology/approachThe research was conducted within a factory focusing on the warehousing and supplier-related operations using an action research methodology.FindingsThe study period spanning over six years was aimed to reduce the inventory and the manpower required to manage this inventory. This initiative led to a substantial average savings of more than 500,000 Malaysian ringgit annually.Research limitations/implicationsThe focus of the study is on a framework for implementing a Supplier Kanban System in a small or medium-sized company within the automotive industry.Practical implicationsThis framework is designed to be self-sufficient such that the members of the organisation can use it without the help of external experts or consultants.Social implicationsReduction in inventory stored in the warehouse, the amount of redundant work carried out by the employees and other non-monetary improvements which are difficult to monetise resulted in a much better work environment and happier employees.Originality/valueThe change in the paradigm of the manufacturing value chain affects the Tier 1 and 2 suppliers in Malaysia. The lines and value chains posing challenges to the suppliers have brought the idea of the Supplier Kanban System. The Supplier Kanban System adopted the action research cycles and continuous learning cycles, and this process was documented and developed as the Framework for the Implementation of a Supplier Kanban System.
