The 70’s has often been viewed as the decade of quality improvement, during which companies began to invest heavily in quality improvements, and Total Quality Management became a buzzword. In the 80’s, with quality a given, the competitive landscape shifted to lean manufacturing, focusing on concepts such as just-in-time, flexible manufacturing, and zero inventory, in order to achieve manufactu...

Lean is the automobile manufacturing production system of the Toyota Motor Corporation that many businesses have been trying to reproduce for over 30 years.1,2 To desire the benefits of Lean requires direct extrapolation or some parallel of Toyota’s manufacturing-based production methods of efficiency and process improvement to different work environments. This is not as easy as it may seem, es...

The processes within are designed from a lean ergonomic point view, taking into account latest trends specific field. Supported ...

Abstract the research aims to evaluate environmental performance of industrial areas using Lean and Green portal By reducing waste generated by industries striking a good balance between operation performance,. Indicators including labour force (MP), raw materials (Mt), economic cost (Mo), machinery (mc), environment have all been researched as ways accomplish this (mv). The study’s findings re...

The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of disordered eating (DE) among female athletes in lean and non-lean sports using the ATHLETE survey. The ATHLETE survey is divided into six different constructs, and a high score indicates a high risk for DE. Eighty-three varsity female athletes from eight Campbell University sports teams completed the survey and a medical history form anonymous...

gas motion within the cylinder is one of the major factors that control the combustion process in spark ignition engine. it also has significant impact on heat transfer. both the bulk gas motion and the turbulence characteristics of the flow are important and governing the overall behavior of the flow. an arrangement for obtaining a stratified charge, using port injection, is proposed for a cur...

strategic programming, complex supply chain, lean, production programming, suppliers selection,   electre this paper represents a model of strategic programming with limited resources in a complex supply chain. the main goal of the proposed model is to increase efficiency and effectiveness of the supply chain with respect to income increases and cost decreases. using special objective functions...

In the past twenty years, companies in the aerospace industry experienced major transitions: mergers and acquisitions, and lean transformation initiatives. This thesis presents research about the relation of lean efforts and mergers and acquisitions. It is based on case studies of mergers and acquisitions undertaken by Boeing Company. In order to obtain supplementary research data, case studies...
