In every successful organization, the critical factors of time, cost, and quality preservation are paramount. Effectively managing and controlling these factors necessitates the implementation of strategic measures. Specifically, the reduction of wastage emerges as a key approach to conserving time, cost, and quality. Achieving this goal hinges on the optimal utilization of organizational resources, which entails precise planning, allocation, monitoring, and control. While various methods for planning and resource tracking exist across organizations, this study focuses on strategies employed within the manufacturing industry. These strategies have demonstrated greater efficiency compared to traditional methods. Moreover, the study proposes the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology to address this challenge effectively. The research recommends the use of IoT technology as a comprehensive solution. Prior studies have often utilized the JIT method solely for resource utilization or TPM method solely for resource management. In contrast, this research advocates for the individual application of these methods to plan each resource meticulously. Specifically, the JIT method is proposed for material utilization, the TPM method for equipment utilization, and the Kaizen method for labor allocation. Furthermore, it emphasizes the integration of IoT with these lean methods. While some researchers have explored IoT, they have not fully integrated it with lean methods and techniques. The synergy of lean production methods and IoT technology offers an ideal opportunity for optimizing the utilization of organizational resources. Through these techniques, organizational resources can be efficiently planned and allocated to the production process. IoT provides valuable tools such as sensors, which can be installed at various resources, facilitating real-time data transmission to managers. This enables remote monitoring from office settings and timely data acquisition, thus addressing the challenge of optimal organizational resource utilization effectively.
