“…More recently, in 2021, Abu and co-authors [31] performed a bibliometric and systematic review of the pathways of Lean manufacturing in wood and furniture industries. The identified threats (ongoing challenges) were characterized in different areas, namely (i) lack of competitive strength, (ii) deadlines and pressures, (iii) lack of knowledge (technical, training and/or tangible benefits) and know-how, (iv) small resources (time, capital, labor resources), environmental effects (weather, political, legislative), market demand, obstacles (sustainable financial backing, insurmountable weakness, new regulations, increased trade barriers, emergence of substitute products), and cultural and human attitudinal issues (lack of employee commitment, lack of management support and interest, difficulty in the implementation, backsliding to old ways of work).…”

“…In particular, Sodhi and colleagues [30] conducted a detailed SWOT analysis and identified LSS (Lean Six Sigma) as the best waste management technique in Indian manufacturing organizations. Abu et al [31] performed a systematic literature review on Lean manufacturing in wood and furniture SME and used a SWOT analysis to establish an extensive list of major factors influencing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, helping better decision making in organizations. Abu et al [31] found that although industrials are familiar with Lean concepts and methodologies, their implementation in the area of wood and furniture is still low.…”

Abu et al [31] found that although industrials are familiar with Lean concepts and methodologies, their implementation in the area of wood and furniture is still low. In line with this, Tomioka et al [32] revised publications over a period of 10 years and applied SWOT analysis to launch main conclusions about the implementation of Lean philosophy in Brazilian manufacturing.…”

The mass production paradigm on which much of the industry was based has changed. The market is increasingly demanding, requesting diversity and products that are more and more adapted to personal wishes and requirements. This implies producing a greater diversity of products in smaller quantities. Competitiveness is enormous, which forces most companies to be truly effective and efficient, taking care of product quality, delivery time, and final cost. Lean methodologies have been a valuable aid in this field. The diversity of Lean tools has been shown to have answers to the most diverse challenges, and companies are aware of this, increasingly adopting methodologies and processes that aim to progressively reduce waste and adapting their production paradigm to what the market requires. This work intends to provide a vision, as global as possible, of the pathway of Lean implementation in the Portuguese industry. For this purpose, a survey was carried out with a significant sample of Portuguese industrial companies from a wide range of activity sectors. The data collected through the survey were treated statistically, and then a SWOT analysis of the results was performed, which provided a collection of precious information on the evolution of industrial companies in Portugal.

“…Abu and Gholami et al [20] used a structural equation modeling approach to analyze the barriers to lean implementation in manufacturing industries. Abu and Gholami et al [21] conducted a bibliometric and systematic review to investigate pathways to implement lean manufacturing in the wood and furniture industries. Bayhan and Demirkesen et al [22] provided a set of core barriers and enablers of lean implementation in construction projects.…”

Lean Implementation Framework: A Case of Performance Improvement of Casting Process

2022

Globalization breeds increasing competition. In today's dynamic climate, lean thinking has been found a promising business continuous improvement strategy for improving quality while reducing product cost and delivery time. However, its implementation has dynamic nature of challenges that varies from industry to industry and country to country, necessitating a specific framework by taking all stakeholders onboard. This study aims to propose a lean implementation framework to reduce defects and waste to improve the performance of the metal casting industry. The structure of the framework has been divided into three phases namely the lean conception phase, lean implementation phase, and lean sustainability phase. The proposed framework integrates the six sigma DMAIC methodology with lean tools and techniques to reduce defects and achieve performance improvement. A solid cast software has been used as a computer-assisted casting simulation tool to perform the analysis of defects within the casting. Further, the proposed framework is demonstrated and validated by employing a real-time case study that was manufactured using the sand casting process. The obtained results show remarkable improvements in poured metal weight (33.3%), mold weight including gating system (40%), casting yield (24.56%, rejection rate (90%), and financial saving (24.63%). As a result of analysis of percentage improvements data, the proposed framework can provide the practitioners with a standard roadmap and motivate the casting industries to implement lean for performance improvement through organizational change. Through the effective application of the lean implementation framework, quality enhancement has been demonstrated.

“…The wood material used in the construction of upholstered furniture is usually wood with a certain strength and susceptibility to processing. In the group of European raw material, coniferous species, such as spruce and pine, and deciduous species—such as birch and beech—play a dominant role [ 3 , 4 ]. They meet the strength requirements and account for a significant percentage of the renewable raw material available for processing.…”

Elements of Designing Upholstered Furniture Sandwich Frames Using Finite Element Method

et al. 2022

This paper presents an approach to the design of an upholstered furniture frame using the finite element method and empirical studies. Three-dimensional discrete models of upholstered furniture frames were developed taking into account orthotropic properties of solid pine wood (Pinus sylvestris L.) without and with details strengthening their structure in the form of glue joints and upholstery staples. Using the CAE Autodesk Inventor Nastran finite element method, linear static analyses were performed by simulating normative loading. The finite element method was performed considering the experimentally determined stiffness coefficients of the PCAC adhesive and staple joints. As a result, stress, displacement, and equivalent strain distributions were obtained for upholstered furniture frame models with stapled corner joints. The deformation and strength behavior of the upholstered furniture frames was improved by reinforcing with a wood strip. A new approach to the design of upholstered furniture frame frames using the FEM method with stapled component connections was developed and tested. The results of the study can be applied in the optimization of upholstered furniture construction.
