Performance Measurement and Improvement of Lean Manufacturing Operations: A Leanness Assessment Literature Review for the Product Development Industry

Abstract

Today manufacturing sectors are more competitive than before. Thus, to execute an enterprise’s transformation in a company emerging as a lean organization it is crucial to have assessments and performance measurements that observe multiple variables during the lean implementation patch. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate a research method focused on lean performance measurement assessments from previous works, summarizing and organizing the existing evaluation standards in a way to allow different industrial segments to replicate the screening steps for a literature review construction. As a result, the existing lean performance measurements and methods from the last 23 years were refined in order to highlight opportunities and insights for future researches to be developed on the lean field.

Model-based trade-off curves to support the set-based concurrent engineering of highly innovative projects

“…It increases manufacturing costs and hinders the development of numerous prototypes. Nevertheless, lean begins during product development and not only during the manufacturing and production phases (Silverio et al, 2020a; Silverio et al, 2020b). Thus, computational tools play a fundamental role in the lean design process.…”

Warehouse Management Model Based on Lean Manufacturing to Reduce the Incidence of Ceramic Tiles Breakage in the Retail Sector

“…The application of a Lean system allows for reducing time in some activities, consequently increasing productivity (Zamalloa-Menacho et al 2022). A 5s methodology is a tool that originated in Japan with a systematic approach that increases efficiency through a set of 5 actions: sort, order, clean, standardize, and self-discipline; aimed at organizing the workplace (Silvério et al 2020). This lean tool restores order in the arrangement of resources and reduces the degree of defective work.…”
