Industrial muda elimination is a major challenge that is faced by the experts in the day to day activities of production systems. Mostly there are seven types of industrial muda in lean systems such as Defects, Overproduction of things not demanded by actual customers, Inventories awaiting further processing or consumption, Unnecessary over-processing, Unnecessary motion of employees, Unnecessary transport and handling of goods, Waiting for an upstream process to deliver, or for a machine to finish processing, or for a supporting function to be completed. Every organization faces particular type of waste that occurs in day to day production activities. In order to find out the most influential lean waste based on the ranking, a survey has been conducted in 91 automobile industries based on the 5 point likerts scale to find the highly impacted lean muda. The survey results stating that 3 types of waste arising out of 7 waste which heavily affect the production system. Hence this work mainly deals with assessing the most deadly waste by ranking the major waste using the weighted average method in which each waste is assigned a weight. Based on the results, the major muda, which are identified that affects the production activities are discussed in detail and how this muda can be eliminated and incorporated with the production system are discussed

“…Best interchanges between the two stages were considered to the development of new proposed layout in which all the non-value added activities are eliminated. Yue [15] analysed the car-seat assembly line which has several problems such as productivity shortage, long production cycle and high inventory costs. Based on leap production, article introduced how to improve the car-seat assembly line with value stream mapping analysis, Kanban pull production management and process flow analysis.…”

In this writing paper an analysis of production system for assembly of cable harness from the point of the time for assembly and losses in working process has been implemented. A suggestion has been made according to a methodology for advancement in assembly system based on Lean concept. Based on this suggested methodology an optimization of numbers of working stations has been executed. The obtained results point out that efficient implementation of Lean concept in assembly process of cable harness is possible. At the end are given the appropriate conclusions and directions of future researches.Abstrakt U ovom radu je izvršena analiza proizvodnog sistema za montažu kablovskih snopova od trenutka montaže sa fokusom na gubitke u radnom procesu. Napravljen je predlog prema metodologiji za unapređenje u montažnom sistemu zasnovanom na Lean konceptu. Na osnovu predložene metodologije izvršena je optimizacija broja radnih stanica. Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na to da je moguća efikasna implementacija Lean koncepta u procesu montaže kablovskog snopa. Na kraju se daju odgovarajući zaključci i pravci budućih istraživanja.

Lean Manufacturing is a manufacturing paradigm, when implemented, it gives an evolutionary change in the production environment. The selection of lean tools is the changing factor in implementing the lean strategy. Lean tools can be selected by prioritizing the lean tools depending on its ability to attack lean wastes. Lean wastes affect any production process. It is required to find the lean wastes at the earliest. This study was conducted in the steering knuckle manufacturing section of a manufacturing industry to identify the lean wastes in the production line. Lean wastes-Lean tools relationship matrix was developed to find the priority among the lean tools. The ranking method using weighted scoring method showed a new way of selecting the lean tools among the various options. It also provides a systematic procedure for the managers to select the right lean tools to reduce lean wastes.
