Application of Lean Tools in the Supply Chain of a Maintenance Environment

Abstract

Historically, Lean thinking has limited applications in the maintenance environment (that is, a non-manufacturing environment). This article reports on the Lean tools that can be implemented in the maintenance environment. To achieve this, a typical supply chain management of a rolling stock service organisation was used for analysis and validation. The approach was initially to map the current supply chain process through a standard method of value stream mapping so as to identify non-Lean activities. After mapping the current state, other suitable Lean tools for the current supply chain management were applied. Finally, performance Indicators were formulated for continuous review and assessment.

Substantiation of influence factors on the value stream in the context of lean enterprise management

“…To overcome this problem and ensure the development of the enterprise by moving from an actual to the desired state, some authors in [5,15] suggest an important method of lean management of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) as appropriate. On an ongoing basis, the formation of a current-state map, a future-state map, an ideal-state map [2,16] with an orientation toward simplifying and improving the efficiency of business processes [17] is justified.…”

Pengaruh Waste Dengan Pendekatan Lean Hospital Terhadap Pengendalian Biaya Kualitas dan Produksi

“…Lean hospital merupakan sebuah upaya berkelanjutan dari rumah sakit untuk menghilangkan waste dan meningkatkan value produk pelayanan bagi pelanggan (Fourie & Umeh, 2017). Waste didefinisikan sebagai penggunaan sumber daya yang tidak menambah value apapun pada produk (Sayyida, Fahma, & Iftadi, 2018).…”

Reducing Linen Loss in Hospital Using Lean Six Sigma Approach

“…Lean applied in the whole company is called lean enterprise, lean on manufacture is called lean manufacturing, while when applied in hospital, it is called lean hospital. Lean hospital is to use less time, money, inventory and space to increase the value from the patient perspective [5].…”
