“…(16) Total quality management (TQM): TQM is a comprehensive and structured approach to organizational management that seeks to improve the quality of products and services through ongoing refinements in response to continuous feedback. TQM is based on quality management from the customer's point of view (Sahay et al, 2011). Researchers have tried to integrate LM and six sigma concept under the title "lean six sigma" (Karthi et al 2011;Michael et al, 2010).…”

Purpose It is difficult for anyone to implement all the lean tools simultaneously. One of the core issues is identifying critical criteria for the successful implementation of lean manufacturing (LM) and evaluating them. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the causal relationships of LM criteria in a machine tool manufacturing firm located in national capital region of India using the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method. Design/methodology/approach The research paper presents a blend of theoretical framework and practical applications. Based on literature review, 17 LM criteria were extracted that were validated by experts. A questionnaire was developed that was answered by experts serving in the XYZ machine tool manufacturing firm. Then, the DEMATEL method was applied to analyze the importance of criteria and the casual relations among the criteria were developed. Findings Using DEMATEL, the lean criteria were divided into cause group and effect group. In this study, information technology, computer-integrated manufacturing, enterprise resource planning, training, fixed position layout, smart processes and automation and concurrent engineering were classified in the cause group. Just in time, value stream mapping, 5-S, single minute exchange of die, visual control, job scheduling, standardized work, cellular manufacturing, poka-yoke, and total quality management were categorized in the effect group. The DEMATEL framework indicates that “training” is the most influencing factor for the lean implementation process in machine tool sector. Originality/value To know the key lean criteria and relationship among them can help many organizations to develop lean competencies. If the authors want to obtain high performance in terms of the effect group factors, it would be necessary to control and pay a great deal of attention to the cause group factors beforehand. This study is perhaps among the first few with focus on segmenting the set of lean criteria into some meaningful portions in order to effectively facilitate its implementation. The paper provides useful insights to the lean production implementers, consultants, and researchers.

“…The main objective of the research was the identification of useful criteria which greatly influence the performance measures in the machine tool industry. For this, a survey questionnaire was adapted from similar research carried out in the automobile industry (Sharma et al, 2008;Sahay et al, 2011). The questionnaire was developed in English, as it is the most commonly used official language for written communication in private sector companies.…”

“…Few researchers have analyzed lean implementation in SMEs (Panizzolo et al, 2012;Sahay et al, 2011). A research by April et al (2010) brings out that SMEs find it difficult to implement productivity improvement tools, particularly those associated with lean manufacturing.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of lean production practices on performance measures in machine tool industry and determines the lean criteria that can have significant positive impact on performance. Design/methodology/approach – The research paper presents a blend of theoretical framework and practical applications. Extant literature was reviewed and to achieve the research objectives, an exploratory survey was carried out in machine tool supply chains located in the national capital region of India. Reliability test, factor analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis bring out several lean criteria that can affect key performance measures. Findings – It was found that two lean criteria, namely, strategic partnership with suppliers and cross-functional cross-organizational design and development teams significantly influenced most of the key performance measures. Some lean criteria were found to negatively affect the overall competitive potential of machine tool firms. Originality/value – The findings can encourage the management of non-adopter firms to adopt lean thinking and to select the lean production criteria that can be implemented to have significant positive impact on key performance indicators in machine tool value chains. This study is perhaps among the first few that focus on machine tool industry in India. The paper provides useful insights to the lean production implementers, consultants and researchers.

“…Ele favorece a redução de tempo de revisão e monitoramento, já que acusará automaticamente discrepâncias entre o que é projetado e o que é realizado [34]; 5) A Gestão de qualidade total (Total Quality Management -TQM) busca a melhoria contínua dos processos, abrangendo também pessoas, cliente satisfeito, Key Performance Indicators -KPIs, de forma concisa e harmônica, de modo que as resoluções de problemas sejam rotineiras e sempre alcançadas [35]. Ferramentas como a Lean Six Sigma auxiliam nesse processo de TQM, melhorando a competitividade da empresa [36], levando à redução de custos e promovendo novas estratégias [37].…”

As diversas ferramentas de manufatura, utilizadas para controle em processos enxutos, são indispensáveis para a aplicação eficiente dos recursos industriais. Este artigo buscou identificar, em meio aos modelos de maturidade Lean existentes, qual proposta de avaliação se enquadraria em uma célula de manufatura de solda. O estudo utilizou uma avaliação dos fatores que sustentam o método proposto, e os resultados indicam que a medição do grau de maturidade proporciona um entendimento real dos recursos utilizados pela organização. Para isso, se fez necessária uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a importância das ferramentas e uma análise para definir o modelo mais adequado à célula de manufatura de solda. Os autores concordam que, de maneira a obter melhores resultados, é preciso que os níveis de maturidade sejam nivelados entre si para que haja coerência, e, portanto, boa aplicabilidade ao contexto da organização. O questionário aplicado, baseado no modelo proposto, reuniu todas as áreas envolvidas nos processos da célula de manufatura de solda. Conclui-se que as ferramentas Lean são base para organizações que buscam resultados através da redução do uso de recursos de entrada e aumento de rendimentos, e a maturidade desses processos se torna indispensável na organização que busca crescer de forma competitiva em seu segmento do mercado, agregando valor ao cliente através de um controle afinado dos recursos.
