The purpose of this project is to carry out an analysis and determine the profile of actual lean manufacturing processes in the Metropolitan Area of Bucaramanga. Through the analysis of qualitative and quantitative variables it was possible to establish how these manufacturers develop production practices that ensure their competitiveness and productivity in the market. In this study, a random ...

This paper introduces a new physical simulation game framework, which can be used in a classroom environment (for both students and professionals) to help demonstrate the applicability as well as the potential advantages of lean production. The game provides a hands-on experience, focusing on experimental learning, and thus enabling students/trainees to get a deeper understanding of the lean pr...

Bearing in mind the new Supply Chain Management (SCM) paradigms, it is important that supply chains be aware of the implementation level of the main practices associated to each SCM paradigm (Lean, Agile, Resilient, and Green, hereafter referred as LARG). The main objective of this chapter is to propose a framework, based on Enterprise 2.0 approach, for global supply chains to assess their LARG...

Research on Lean indicates that its association with performance improvement, although compelling, is not uniformly positive. Prior researchers have posited plants implementing may become too lean or only implement selected aspects without fully embracing Lean’s synergistic prescriptions. We explore another potential reason for lower-than-expected sometimes associated Lean: supply chain complex...

The aim of this paper is to examine the synergies between lean, EMS and green systems, manufacturing management strategies as found in the literature, with a focus on the co-occurent implementation of these strategic initiatives, in order to develop a research agenda to guide a theoretically based future research to assist small-medium enterprise (SME) managerial decision making. An in-depth li...

Supply chains (SC) in an attempt to be more competitive, are adopting new management paradigm. Among these paradigms there are four that deserve particular mention because of their importance to better SC performance: lean, agile, resilient and green. The main objective of this paper is to propose a conceptual model for a lean, agile, resilience and green SC, with the purpose of improving their...

Lean Management has been successfully implemented in production organizations since several decades. The study at hand investigates the implementation of Lean Management to IT organizations (Lean IT). The study offers three contributions: First, it explains on a conceptual level how Lean Management can be transferred from production to IT organizations (philosophy, principles, tools). Second, i...

Background: Indian farmers are facing shortage of green and dry fodders to feed their livestock during period (lean period) which possess a major hurdle in improving productivity. This study delineates, pelleting green, concentraes order meet out the fodder requirement winter/lean period, will turn consequently improve Methods: The experiments were conducted at Forage Pelleting Unit, Department...
