Lean production and enterprise resource planning systems are often quoted as being the two most important strategies for achieving competitive advantage in today’s global manufacturing environments. Though IT has traditionally been viewed as a contributor to waste within lean production, we suggest that modern developments in IT and the onset of hybrid ‘‘push-pull’’ production control mechanism...

In world where product life cycles are decreasing, and customers are demanding they receive high quality products in a timely manner; traditional 'mass' based production techniques based on hard automation are becoming uncompetitive. Mass production systems are unable to accommodate frequent model changes in an economic and timely fashion. One promising alternative to solving these problems is ...

For each industrial, lean manufacturing is “The method” to improve productivity and reduce cost. One of the tools for lean is cellular manufacturing. This technique reduces the factory to several small entities, which are easier to manage. The main difficulty of the cellular manufacturing is the creation of these small entities called cells. When the flexibility is used during the production pr...
