چکیده

Industries are struggling in their business during economy crisis. In order to recover from that, they are announcing volunteer retirement schemes and lay-off their employees, some medium and small scale industries are even closed too.

At present situation, it is not possible to increase the selling price of their products. So, the only way is to reduce their internal costs and improve the quality of the product to fulfill the customer requirement. In order to overcome the above mentioned difficulties, this paper suggest them to integrate the lean manufacturing principles and the software based mechatronics systems in their factory premises for taking necessary steps to reduce the internal cost. In this paper, a pump manufacturing industry would be taken for case study. The solution given in this paper could be applied to various industrial segments, which would enable to cater the current customer demanding needs.
