Implementation of Lean Manufacturing Principles in Foundries
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
It is the general perception that the foundry industries are inherently more efficient and have a relatively less requirement for major improvement activities. Managers and engineers have also been hesitant to implement lean manufacturing tools and techniques to the continuous sector because of typical and identical characteristics that sector. These include costly and special purpose inflexible machines, options of modifications in machines are limited ,long setup times, and the general difficulty in producing in small batches.
