Analysis of the impact of selected Lean Manufacturing tools on the parameters of the production process - case study
Purpose: The aim of the research was to present the impact of the use of selected Lean Manufacturing tools (5S and Poka Yoke) on the efficiency of the production process and the number of non-conforming products generated during the manufacturing process. The research was carried out on the basis of data from a production plant in the automotive industry. Design/methodology/approach: The article presents a statistical analysis of the impact of the implementation of Lean Manufacturing tools on the production process - a case study. Findings: The obtained results allowed to present the scale of changes coming in the manufacturing process, confirming at the same time the positive effect of the implementation of Lean Manufacturing tools on the efficiency of the manufacturing process and the quality of manufactured products. As a result of the implementation of the 5S and Poka Yoke tools, an increase in efficiency was found in all production operations. Social implications: The analysis carried out can increase awareness of the importance of the impact of Lean Manufacturing on the production process. Originality/value: In the article, an original statistical analysis was carried out, indicating an increase in the efficiency of the production process due to the implementation of selected Lean Manufacturing tools.
