Role of IT in Lean Manufacturing: A brief Scenario
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
A concept of Lean can be seen as a loosely connected set of potentially competing principles whose goal is cost reduction by the elimination of waste, and organise the possible effort to utilise waste of all kinds in a productive way. The avoidance and then lateral removal of waste has a long history, and as such this history forms much of the basis of the philosophy now known as "Lean". Many organisations are implementing 'lean manufacturing' (LM) with the objective of achieving a superior competitive advantage over other organisations. Few companies have attained their objective, while many of them did not. One of the reasons for failure is that the managers of these organisations have not understood clearly: how the performance measures of an organisation are affected, when it gets transformed through LM.
