IDENTIFYING SUITABILITY AND APPLICATION OF LEAN MANUFACTURING TOOLS

Lean is a process of operational performance improvement, where several lean tools & technique has been used to evaluate performance of organisation. In last few decades, implementation of lean manufacturing process has been significantly increases in global environment. It has been identified that several research study has been reviewed to analyse potential methods that can help to identify suitable lean tools that can use in manufacturing operation with improving productivity and customer satisfaction. Research study has conducted a literature review that critically analyse lean process, different suitable lean tools generally adopted by manufacturing industries. In contrast, a methodology has been considered, which identified that operational improvement and continuous improvement methods with monitoring and sustaining performance are identical variables that can identify suitable lean tools in a manufacturing operation. In contrast, operational performance variables have been identified in measurement of resultant study that critically described on lean tools for manufacturing industries and healthcare industries. Comparing those business environment, suitable lean tools has been identified from research study. At last, a conclusion with measurement of future scope has been defined in this study.
