Abstract

This article examines one of the main directions for improving the activities of structural units - lean production, which is widely practiced abroad, but in Russian conditions it is mainly used by large manufacturing companies focused on the foreign market. The article discusses the methodology for the implementation of lean manufacturing. Seven types of losses were given, as well as a complete sequence of actions to eliminate them. We learned a value stream map, types of streams and their composition according to various factors. We examined the tools in the Lean Manufacturing system for the implementation of this technique. Also, enterprise management systems based on push and pull systems were described, diagrams for them were given that show the essence of the operation of these systems. At the end of the work, conclusions were drawn about the way to improve the enterprise, such as “lean manufacturing”. The main objective of this article is to identify the essence and features of the research based on the principles of lean production in the structural unit of the research object.

Highlights

  • One of the most versatile ways to improve the performance of almost any enterprise is lean manufacturing

  • Its peculiarity lies in a thorough study of business processes and identification of all types of losses that may arise in the main production

  • Depending on the amount of losses and the ease of their measurement, a decision is made on specific measures to eliminate them [1,2,3]

Summary

Introduction

One of the most versatile ways to improve the performance of almost any enterprise is lean manufacturing. Its peculiarity lies in a thorough study of business processes and identification of all types of losses that may arise in the main production. Depending on the amount of losses and the ease of their measurement, a decision is made on specific measures to eliminate them [1,2,3]. The concept of “Lean Manufacturing” combines the optimization of production processes aimed at continuous improvement of product quality while constantly reducing costs, with the involvement of each employee in this process. The main task of such production was the creation of competitive products in the required quantity, in the shortest possible time and with the least resource consumption [4,5,6]
