Abstract

Lean Manufacturing (LM) is a philosophy aiming at detecting and eliminating waste throughout a product’s value stream by means of a set of synergistic tools and techniques. Examples of LM tools and techniques are Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED), Kanban, 5-S, Value Stream Mapping, Preventive Maintenance, Cellular Manufacturing (CM), Standardised Work, Heijunka, and Poka Yoke. Although these tools could resolve many manufacturing issues, it is difficult to quantify the benefits of implementing LM before it is actually implemented. Therefore, this study focused on a process simulation approach to see the effectiveness of LM tools before their implementation. A process model of a coolant hose manufacturing (CHM) factory was designed and its simulation model was then implemented. Subsequently, this paper presents the implemented simulation model and shows how it could be used to see the effect of LM tools using an example of SMED LM tool and Cellular Manufacturing LM tool.
