Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, February 2006.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 74-76).<br>Lean was first adopted as a management technique for improving results in manufacturing environments. It is based on the 5 principles of identifying the Value to be created, mapping the Value-Stream (incremental addition of value), ensuring process Flow, orienting the process towards the Pull of the customer and finally eliminating all Waste through a process of continuous improvement. This framework is highly adaptable, and has been applie

Thesis (MBA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The political changes in South Africa since 1994 and globalisation have brought about a dramatic increase in competition for South African companies. To ensure long-term survival and success, companies have to focus their strategies on continuous improvement and the ability to adapt to continuous change. Lean manufacturing principles were derived from the Toyota Production System (TPS) which was created by Taiichi Ohna, who is widely credited to be the father of Lean manufacturing principles.

Abstract:

Several studies have found that traditional design planning to be unreliable and a cause of workflow variability during design development. The reason given for this is that traditional design planning lacks a mechanism to control workflow. Other studies have shown that the Last Planner system (LPS) of production planning and control reduces workflow variability during the construction stage of building projects by increasing planning reliability through greater collaboration in the planning of construction tasks and better coordination of work between the building trades.

Abstract:

This thesis work uses variety of methods from the Lean Toolbox. Thereby, one can examine how these lean principles can be meaningfully implemented in the production of Driver Assistance Systems. This is achieved through the analysis of individual principles and their practical implementation. The principles are examined in a chronological order over the complete project engineering process from Planning, Conceptualization till Implementation on the shop floor. This thesis shall serve as a guideline for the effective and economical installation and ramp up of new production lines.
