“…Sometimes a little confusion about a new method creates chaos. So, every activity and result must be communicated effectively (Islam, 2019) and everyone must work as a team. Finally, linking performance metrics to responsibility will ensure the accountability of all employees and the successful implementation of lean problemsolving principles in a company.…”

From household issues to complex organizational cases, problem-solving is a common but critical matter in our life. Organizations have tried to harness maximum benefit from lean, but evidence of implementing problem-solving principles is rare. This study intends to emphasize on importance and expose the highly influencing success factors to establish continuous problem-solving and learning in any organization with the example of an automotive industry case in Malaysia. A list of elements of problem-solving principles of lean and another for success factors to implement lean has been compiled through a comprehensive review of contemporary literature. Then a focus group of sixteen professional experts selected meticulously from a reputed Malaysian Automotive industry thoroughly discussed the subject matter in group meetings to get their judgments based on experience and shared knowledge. The approach of grading success factors at the element level of principles of lean is an added methodology to the existing knowledge, and the results of highly influencing success factors for the implementation of elements of principles of problem-solving in lean is a new and helpful insight for organizational leaders and researchers. The author assumes this research may take lean implementation to the next level of success. Modern organizations must build lean problem-solving culture by motivating and empowering management employees who have process-level understanding and are accountable with different metrics. The key to success also depends highly on operators’ inclusiveness and managing their reactions to change. Both management and process workers must drive lean as a team.

Relationship between lean manufacturing tools and their sustainable economic benefits

Traditionally, the isolated relationship of total preventive maintenance (TPM), quick setup (QS), overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and one-piece flow (OPF) with economic sustainability (ESU) has been investigated; however, these lean manufacturing (LM) tools are implemented together into production systems, and traditional research does not report their relationships and interactions. To contribute to this gap, this paper integrates all those variables in a structural equation model (SEM), which are related by seven hypotheses that are validated using the partial least squares (PLS) technique using information from 176 responses to a questionnaire applied to the Mexican maquiladora industry. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis has been carried out to determine the probability of occurrence at high and low implementation levels for all variables when they occur in isolation, jointly and conditionally. Findings indicate that TPM is a precursor of QS and OEE, while QS is a precursor of OEE and OPF, OEE is a precursor of OPF and ESU, but also OPF is a precursor of ESU. The sensitivity analysis indicates that low levels of TPM are a risk for reaching adequate levels of OEE and QC, while low levels in OEE and OPF are a risk for reaching adequate ESU levels.

“…LM tools are classified according to their focus on the production process; some are focused on the production system's operational stability, others have focused on the flow of materials and on quality [3]. Together, all are focused on obtaining a more significant reduction of waste and guaranteeing product quality at a lower cost, having a customer focus with small production batches, and providing high safety and morale in workers [4].…”

“…For example, Melton [5] in 2005 had already considered what lean thinking offered to industries, while Rajenthirakumar and Shankar [6] analyzed the benefits that LM tools provide to a company that manufactures durable products. Recently, Islam [4] examined whether the manufacturer or suppliers obtained more benefits by applying LM to each other, while Palange and Dhatrak [3] concluded that LM was vital to achieving the productivity rates of the companies. However, Hao, et al [7] stated that it is often challenging to award to LM or some of its tools the benefits obtained since several are implemented simultaneously in the production lines.…”

Effect of Quality Lean Manufacturing Tools on Commercial Benefits Gained by Mexican Maquiladoras

et al. 2021

Companies implement lean manufacturing (LM) tools in their production processes to reduce waste; however, it is difficult to quantify the effect on benefits gained after their implementation. This article proposes a structural equations model (SEM) that relates three LM tools associated with quality as total quality management (TQM), waste, and right first time (RFT) as independent variables associated with commercial benefits gained as a dependent variable. Those four variables were related by six hypotheses that were validated with information from 169 responses to a survey applied to the Mexican maquiladora industry. Partial least squared was used to validate the hypotheses as direct effects. The sum of indirect and total effects was also estimated, and a sensitivity analysis was developed for relationships between variables. Findings indicate that TQM directly affects waste reduction, drives doing RFT, and directly and indirectly affects the commercial benefits gained.
