lean thinking requires certain techniques and tools to support lean processing and to penetrate an organization in which 5s system (sorting, set in order, shining, standardization, sustaining) is to develop value process workflow system. kanban, a card containing a set of manufacturing specifications and requirements used to regulate the supply of components, is one of the most famous and impor...

Glycol dehydration is the most common and economical water removal method from natural gas streams. However, of low-pressure requires use higher concentration TEG (Triethylene Glycol) or TREG (Tetraethylene Glycol). This article describes how ejector can be used to create a vacuum in glycol reboiler achieve L-TEG/L-TREG (Lean Triethylene Glycol/Lean Tetraethylene Process simulations regeneratio...

Serum urea concentrations were measured in Large White pigs from lines divergently selected for components of efficient lean growth rate and performance tested over three 14-d test periods starting at 30, 50, and 75 kg. Two methods of performance testing were used. Phase-fed pigs were fed to appetite isoenergetic diets differing in total lysine:energy ratio (0.58, 0.69, 0.81, 0.91, 1.01, 1.12, ...

Lean production has become an integral part of the manufacturing landscape as its link with superior performance and its ability to provide competitive advantage is well accepted among academics and practitioners. Lean production helps producers in overcoming the challenges organizations face through using powerful tools and enablers. However, most companies are faced with restricted resources ...

BACKGROUND Health care has experimented with many different quality improvement (QI) approaches with greater variation in name than content. This has been dubbed pseudoinnovation. However, it could also be that the subtleties and differences are not clearly understood. To explore this further, the purpose of this study was to explore how hospital managers perceive lean in the context of QI. M...

Lean deveLopment is a product development paradigm with an endto-end focus on creating value for the customer, eliminating waste, optimizing value streams, empowering people, and continuously improving (see Figure 11). Lean thinking has penetrated many industries. It was first used in manufacturing, with clear goals to empower teams, reduce waste, optimize work streams, and above all keep marke...

This paper presents a case study and discusses the issues of implementing Lean manufacturing within a global organisation and the adoption of it in an Erp-system. It discusses and presents how the modelling and design of the manufacturing planning and control task can be done, and how it is implemented within the Erp system, to support the daily operation in the case company. The Erp system use...

BACKGROUND Despite the well-known recidivism of obesity, surprisingly little is known about the composition of body weight during weight regain. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine whether the composition of body weight regained after intentional weight loss is similar to the composition of body weight lost. DESIGN The design was a follow-up to a randomized controlled tri...

Production leveling (heijunka) is one of the lean tool that is used to stabilize a manufacturing system (reduce the bullwhip effect). Production leveling is a kind of cyclic scheduling that creates production regularity and coordination simplicity. This article describes simulation modeling and multivariate analysis of an assembly production line in a microelectronics factory. The assembly line...
