“…The LM, according to [31], is the most widely used term in the West to refer to the production model proposed by Toyota (Toyota Production System -TPS). This production model is also found in the literature synonymous to "Lean production", "Lean thinking", "Lean enterprises" and "Lean consumption" [46,6,52,33].…”

Although Lean knowledge is widely spread worldwide bringing forth benefits to organizations, observable in the literature is that small-sized enterprises in developed countries do not usually apply this industrial management technique. Therefore, this article has sought to demonstrate that Lean Knowledge Transfer, through the university-enterprise cooperation, may reach expressive results in a wires and cables company. To achieve that, a product family largely impacting the production process has been selected in that company. Next, the tool Value Stream Mapping (VSM) has been used to visualize the current state and, in partnership with the company’s managers, idealize a future state of the process. With that, wastes have been found in the production process and Lean tools have been pointed out to reach improvements proposed in the future state. The results have shown a significant reduction in wastes of: movement of operators (50 and 40% in distances traveled), inventories (44 and 22% of copper), lead time (60 and 53% of the time) and the number of operators (39% in total). Thus, the conclusion is that these results corroborate the literature, where one may apply Lean knowledge transfer in different-sized enterprises so as to seek the reduction of wastes and improve the production process efficiently with the cooperation of universities.

“…In recent years, Lean has been implanted in various fields. Several studies have provided empirical evidence of Lean's benefits regarding time, productivity, quality, and other business dimensions, but most of these studies are from industry (Soliman & Saurin, 2017). However, there are enormous opportunities for using the Lean in all other domains (Syltevik et al, 2017).…”

“…Although Lean improves operational efficiency, improves employees' self-confidence, long-term financial benefits, and improves the quality of service provided (Syltevik et al, 2017), the majority of studies postpone the failure of the Lean implementation in different domains and different countries (Albliwi et al, 2014). In the same context, Soliman and Saurin (2017) concluded that the Lean encounters several limitations (i.e., there is no clear differentiation between waste and value-added) in complex systems (i.e., Hospital). Also, Moraros et al (2016) reported that no statistically significant association between Lean and client satisfaction suggests that the Lean improves quality in the hospital setting.…”

Purpose: Lean approach is widely recognized today as an effective approach to process management and more specifically to performance improvement of processes. However, there is an ambiguity around this approach, which leads to the failure of several companies to achieve their desired objectives.Design/methodology/approach: The objective of this paper is to clarify Lean approach by proposing a domain model that describes Lean concepts and the relations between them. The development of this model consists in following the steps: (i) identification of concepts, (ii) identification of relations, and (iii) construction of model.Findings: This paper proposes a domain model to provide a clearer vision that improves and unifies the understanding of Lean approach to ensure its effective application to business processes.Originality/value: The domain model allows to remove any ambiguity and to successfully implement the Lean approach in order to achieve the desired objectives by emphasizing its concepts and the relationships between them.

“…O Sistema Toyota de Produção, comumente conhecido como lean production, caracteriza-se como um conjunto de princípios, práticas e ferramentas usadas para criar valor ao consumidor, com melhor qualidade e poucos defeitos, com menos esforços humanos, menos utilização de espaço físico, menos capital e menos tempo do que os sistemas tradicionais de produção em massa (Liker, 2004;Corte et al, 2016). De forma mais objetiva, reduz continuamente as perdas em todas as áreas e de todas as formas (Bortolotti, Boscari, & Danese, 2015;Soliman & Saurin, 2017). Conforme Womack e Jones (2004), a base da produção enxuta consiste em eliminar os desperdícios para reduzir os custos de produção e maximizar o valor agregado.…”

O controle dos processos em empresas que estão em rápida expansão pode ser complexo e de alto custo se não for feito de forma organizada e planejada. A combinação da disposição dos processos, da alta variabilidade de peças produzidas e de um grande volume fabricado pode ser um fator que aumenta a propensão de perdas. Nesse contexto, este estudo tem como objetivo, com base nas práticas lean, propor melhorias no processo de corte de chapas finas de uma linha produtiva de uma fábrica de elevadores localizada na região sul do Brasil. Em termos metodológicos, foi selecionado o estudo de caso. A pesquisa classifica-se como descritiva, de caráter exploratório. Como resultados, obteve-se reduções significativas das perdas ocorridas no processo atual, com ganhos em qualidade, redução de estoque, diminuição de retrabalhos e aumento de produtividade através da aplicação de técnicas e ferramentas lean.
