Implementation of Lean Manufacturing in a Plastic Moulding Industry

This project aims at implementation of lean principles in the production activities in an industry. In this project, Plastic moulding industry where such practices were not implemented was selected. The production rate of the organization was very low because of that law of transportation facility, impaper inventory management and improper layout. It leads to reduce the production rate of the organization. To overcome those above the problems, the implementation of quality tools such as lean manufacturing concept to enhance that productivity of the organization. The transportation between different units of this industry was standardized using Just in Time practice. Kanban system was also implemented for inventory management. Finally, the productivity of the firm was improved by implementing layout changes which were in accordance with the lean principles. A time study of the change was also carried out and the improvement in productivity was proven numerically.
