摘要：Lean manufacturing is an applied methodology of scientific, objective techniques that cause work tasks in a process to be performed with a minimum of non-value adding activities. It has been increasingly adopted as a potential solution for many organizations, particularly within the automotive (Womack et al. 1990; Jones, 1999) and aerospace (Abbett et al. 1999; Womack and Fitzpatrick, 1999) manufacturing industries. This work addresses the implementation of lean principles in an automotive component manufacturing company with a focus on tube sub-assembly line. The main objective is to develop several strategies to eliminate waste on the shop floor. This paper describes how the value stream mapping (VSM) and other suite of lean tools such as kaizen can be used to map the current state of a production line and design a desired future state.
