STRENGTHENING LEAN MANUFACTURING<br />
THROUGH KAIZEN PRACTICES<br />
RATIONALE<br />
The emerging globalisation of the world economy has forced enterprise<br />
to tone up to the dynamic strategy to enhance their competitiveness.<br />
Therefore, one of the strategies which has become important is Lean<br />
Manufacturing. It is a management philosophy focusing on reduction<br />
of the 7 wastes (Over-Production, Waiting Time, Transportation, Over-<br />
Processing, Inventory, Motion and Scrap) in manufactured products. By<br />
eliminating waste, quality is improved, production time and cost is<br />
reduced. The lean production was inspired by the Kaizen-the Japanese<br />
strategy of continuous improvement.<br />
The programme will serve as a good introduction to the underlying<br />
principles of lean manufacturing and various practices associated with<br />
it.<br />
