Identification of Factors for Lean and Agile Manufacturing Systems in Rolling Industry

Abstract

The rolling industries have significant contribution to produce the sheet metal-based components. To obtain better outcome and enhanced performance, the implementation of integrated lean and agile manufacturing concept is highly important for such industries. In the present paper, the issues related to the influence of applying of lean and agile system have been recognized at the initial stage. In addition, ordinary issues (factors) were also explored at the later stage. The paper will be helpful for the authors and managers in identifying as well as developing the basis of LM and AM simultaneously and their impact on rolling industries.
