one of the issues of reducing waste and therefore increasing productivity in manufacturing enterprises is to endow with smooth and good production layout. thus, identification and assessment of the factors hindering the realization of the expected productivity of the production flow layout is the important. one of these factors is waste; organizations can make layouts and production stream prod...

undoubtedly, more attention is being made in the word service and industries that can be learnt from manufacturing for improving its production out puts and their associated quality and cost. these include such lean production, jit, tqm, and the relationship between buyer, supplier and finally the customer satisfaction. the main purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between three...

nowadays, customers ask for high quality products with less cost. so, the organizations such as iran transfo rey are looking for a solution to survive longer. implementation of lean production can lead the company to its target. the main goal of this research is evaluating the readiness of iran transfo rey co. for performing the lean production system through dimensional analysis model. in this...

value stream mapping because of being able to understand process bottlenecks, as one of the most common tools for analyzing, identifying and eliminating various losses in operational and support processes are used. on the other hand, inventory management, precise control entry and exit of goods, accurate and timely information about the inventories status and planning, reduce product maintenanc...

Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating wastes (non-value added activities) through continuous improvement by conveying the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of production. In a more basic term, more value with less work. Since lean manufacturing eliminates many of the problems associated with poor production scheduling and line balancing, lean ma...

The paper presents the problems with integration of the companies within the supply chain. Usually the separate actions are undertaken by the companies to implement lean tools for production systems and external logistics processes. This situation leads to minor results or moving the costs between production and logistics processes instead of reduction. The purpose of the paper is to present th...
