Abstract
LM has proven itself the production system that enhances shop floor efficiency. Furthermore, the current environment for production firms is accelerating the pace at which LM is implemented. The manufacture of lean is not easy to introduce. It is constant and complex activity. Assembly workers in production processes are the core of lean manufacturing activity. Training is known as vehicle to aid the implementation process. While the importance of training is known so far, there are only a few options for organizing effective training. The results of the survey of questions conducted inside UK manufacturing companies are examined. This article illustrates the definition of lean production and worker requirements in lean environment.
Highlights
Manufacturing companies from all over the world face intensified competition
Training in the workforce plays a crucial role in developing a lean environment
The production companies based in the UK have acknowledged the importance of training workers to boost performance; quality of work and employee versatility, but the UK companies cut their training budgets because they consider the training to be an expense not an investment. [14,15,16]
Summary
Manufacturing companies from all over the world face intensified competition. Companies must adapt rapidly and without decreasing profitability or even rising profitability to the increasing demand and market demand of customers. Ford 1) provided a more accurate measurement unit for the manufacture of parts to achieve mass production, 2) simplified the car layout, 3) minimized workload volumes and 4) set up an assembly line. This production process, called the continuing flow production process, has accomplished the mass fabrication of the cheap Model TPS [20,21,22]. The removal of waste from continuous production and adaptation to the culture and market size of Japan came to an end with an improved manufacturing system that reduces the cost of production while improving quality [23,24,25,26]. LM is a set of techniques aimed at defining and eliminating all forms of waste — seven 'wastes' — or 'Muda' in Japan — are recognized — 1) overproduction waste, 2) waste of waiting for machines or operators, 3) waste in transport, 4) waste of processing itself, 5) Inventory waste, 6) waste of movement of operators and 7) waste of making defective products [27,28,29,30]
