Abstract
In this paper, a paint company is taken into consideration and using lean manufacturing techniques, energy conservation is achieved in its different manufacturing processes. There are several ways in which manufacturing organizations can decrease their waste while increasing productivity; one of it is by implementing lean. Several techniques for lean manufacturing such as Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Overall Effectiveness of the Equipment (OEE), Process Mapping and Value Stream Mapping are discussed throughout this paper, while Overall Effectiveness of the Equipment (OEE) for the dissolvers and the filling lines are also calculated. After going through the process map, value added and non-value added activities were identified. This helped to reduce energy.

Summary
The Machine That Changed the World, James P. Jones and Daniel Roos [1] describe lean manufacturing as a production phenomenon that recognizes the expenditure of resources for any purpose other than the procreation of value for the end customer to be wasteful, and should be eliminated. "Value" is any action or process that a customer is willing to pay for. Lean Implementation helps in reducing waste and production time and cost. This automatically increases the quality of the product. Improving and optimizing of discreet processes is part of lean manufacturing [2]. The several tools and techniques used for lean manufacturing in this paper are discussed below
