Abstract:

This thesis deals with development of lean and green production systems from an action research point of view. The studies focus on Swedish-based automotive and vehicle industries and their aims to integrate sustainable thinking and environmental care into their operations management. Starting from operations management in manufacturing and corporate sustainable development, the research is built on how to integrate these two views into one production system. The systematic structure of a multiple-target improvement process with methodologies and tools designed to achieve the sustainability vi

Abstract:

In order to deal with global competition, industries have undertaken many efforts directed to improve manufacturing efficiency. From a broad perspective, the adopted approaches could be classified in two categories: 1. the simplification of manufacturing processes and relative control systems, leading to lean manufacturing methododologies and techniques; 2. the massive deployment of information tools and computational algorithms, aiming to plan and control all the activities in detail, in spite of system complexity. For several years, these two approaches have been assumed to be mutually

Lean manufacturing has seen its creators, Toyota, rise from insignificance in the middle of the previous century, to the biggest selling car manufacturer in the world today.

These Japanese companies‟ adoption of lean has seen many of their mass producing United States (US) and European counterparts struggle for survival.

Governments around the world want to deliver better education, better health care, better pensions and better transportation services. They know that impatient electorates want to see change, and fast. But, the funds required to meet such expectations are enormous, particularly in the many developed economies where populations are aging and the public sector's productivity has not kept pace with that of the private sector. The need to get value for money from governments at all levels is therefore under the spotlight as never before. However, cost-cutting programmes that seek savings of 1 to 3

Abstract:

South African producers are constantly facing competition from foreign organisations in their domestic markets. The adverse effects of this competition stem, in part, from the low levels of productivity which characterise South African industry and which is well documented by the National Productivity Institute of South Africa. The concept of continuous improvement offers a proven methodology for increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of production processes. Given the situation that faces South African producers, it would seem appropriate to investigate how the concept of continuous impr

The Japanese secret weapon “Lean Production” is no longer a secret; more and more western companies are now learning and adopting Lean techniques to remain relevant and competitive.

Currently, SMEs do not employ methodologies that help improve production and process management as they do not realize how important and necessary the methodologies

In parallel, the environmental performance of a company in terms of pollution prevention and reduction of the use and waste of resources is an issue increasingly concerning both firms and customers in recent years.

Abstract:

For companies operating within the garment manufacturing industry, having frequent downtimes in their production flows is an extremely common issue. In this context, a balanced production line is required to prevent high waiting times due to limited productive capacity. A well-balanced assembly line allows products to be produced in an optimum time while using less resources, such as machines, materials, or labour, since the right number of products is produced with the exact amount of resources, thus generating savings in production costs. This paper seeks to foster optimum resource allocatio

Abstract:

The objective of this study is to assess the Lean Manufacturing practices by Transwerk Uitenhage and to reveal the barriers to implementation of lean manufacturing strategies experienced by their supply line. This will be compared to what the literature says and suggestions to overcome these barriers will be developed.

Abstract:

The project aim was to develop a lean method for bimetallic fuel pump bearing manufacture using powder metallurgy (PM), as an alternative to flame spraying. Specifically, the sintering and diffusion bonding of aluminum powder alloy to 30% leaded bronze included: • 'Press and sinter': AI-6%Si alloy. 7075 alloy (AI-5.5%Zn-2.5° oMg-1.6%Cu), \(\leq\)500 °C AI-8%Mg-4%Zn alloy, \(\leq\) 500 °C. • HIP (Hot Isostatic Pressing) - AI-6%Si alloy. • 'Hot compaction' - AI-8%Mg-4%Zn alloy. 'Press and sinter' of AI-6%Si alloy resulted in residual porosity and expansion during cooling, due to silicon density
