Lean manufacturing as a tool for increasing labor productivity at the enterprise

Abstract

Since the beginning of utilization of the lean production concept it has passed several stages of implementation. The first stage failed because manufacturers that introduced lean production methods were isolated from each other; whereas in the second stage, these companies learned from their experiences. Since then, the lean production concept has been used to organize production and reduce costs, despite the fact that markets are becoming more demanding due to individualization of demand and variability of conditions. Digitalization suggests methods for adapting the concept of lean production to such a market indicator as company performance. Thus, the utilization of the concept "Industry 4.0" can initiate the third stage of development of the practice of lean manufacturing in terms of analyzing the productivity from a multidimensional point of view.

Algorithmic Approach for the Confluence of Lean Methodology and Industry 4.0 Technologies: Challenges, Benefits, and Practical Applications

“…After establishing the actions and methods, an action plan is created to address the issue, followed by the introduction of Industry 4.0 technology [30]. It is noteworthy that some companies may allocate considerable resources and effort to automate their existing production processes, often neglecting the critical step of optimizing these processes prior to automation [31].…”

Increasing Technology-Based Driver’s Productivity Under Covid-19 Pandemic in Vietnam: the Significant Contribution of Consumer Behavior

“…And the driver productivity, related to the study, is mainly clarified under the 3 dimensions. Service waste reduction or elimination can contribute significantly to the labor productivity enhancement process within organizations (Thomas et al, 2002;Arfmann and Barbe, 2014;Ketoeva et al, 2019).…”

Optimization of Thermal Conditions of Heat Recovery Boilers with Regenerative Heating in the High-Temperature Section of Isoamylene Dehydrogenation

“…The application of the principle of energy technological combination (This principle implies the joint elaboration of a technological product and an energy resource) (ETC) becomes an indispensable prerequisite when designing new productions in the petrochemical industry. The ETC principle can be implemented at existing enterprises by having systems utilize secondary energy resources (SERs) not used in the main production processes (Patrascu and Minciuc, 2012;Kosasih and Ruhyat, 2016;Ketoeva et al, 2019). A promising direction for fuel and energy optimization at industry is the introduction of regenerative heating in heat transfer agents utilizing the heat rejected into the environment (Kusumah et al, 2019;Kusrini and Kartohardjono, 2019).…”
