Abstract
Kaizen and automation are two different approaches to improve the performance of manufacturers. Both approaches have been widely discussed and reported in related literature. This paper proposes a framework to integrate kaizen and automation to reengineer a manufacturing process. A case project shows the procedure of process reengineering. This study concludes that using an animated simulation model is an important step during process redesign. This research also shows that a nearly 50% improvement in labor productivity at the case company is possible with the streamlined manufacturing process.
