A REVIEW PAPER ON WORK STUDY, LEAN MANUFACTURING AND SIX SIGMA
Journal Title: REST Journal on Emerging trends in Modelling and Manufacturing - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Industrial Engineers bring people, resources, equipment, and technologies together to improve system and processes. Industrial engineers have developed numerous new tools and techniques to improve both system and processes, especially in the last decade or two. Still different lean tools and conventional IE techniques such as time study, method study etc. have not lost its success rate. Lean and Six Sigma are two widely acknowledged business process improvement strategies available to organisations today for achieving dramatic results in cost, quality and time by focusing on process performance. Lean tools and techniques generates savings to the bottom line of organization. Lean manufacturing is concerned with the development, improvement, and the implementation of integrated systems of men, machines, money, knowledge, information, energy, materials, analysis as well as the mathematical, physical and operational model together with the principles and methods of engineering design to identify, predict, and evaluate the result to be obtained from such process and further improve the processes.
