A Cost Based Correlated Logical Methodology for Choosing Optimum Lean Tools and Techniques based on Lean Survey in Garment Manufacturing Industries

Abstract

The lean is becoming one of the widely recognized continuous improvement tools available to various garments manufacturing industries. All industrialist manufacturers meet difficulties to choose optimum lean tools and techniques within their resource constraints and to find the perceived value of manufacturing waste elimination in garment manufacturing process and will be benefited more by adopting the idea of this research work. lean survey from garment industries results stating that four types of waste which seriously affects garment firms. Mathematical models and waste relations matrix were formulated and logical methodology was developed for calculating the perceived value of lean tools and techniques to manufacturing waste elimination and a stage-by-stage methodology is provided for choosing optimum lean tools and techniques to maximize the manufacturing performance within their limited amount of available resources (cost) constraints to eliminate their determined wastes by relative ranks allotted in waste relation matrix based on ranking of lean survey as a inputs in the C programme.
