Literature review Womack, J P and Jones, D T summarised Lean Production as ‘doing more and more with less and less’. Rineheart, J., Huxley, C., Robertson, D (1997) stated that lean manufacturing will be the standard means of manufacturing in the 21st century, Dankbaar (1997) added that there is no other alternative to lean manufacturing. The general consensus amongst researchers is, that if properly implemented lean manufacturing would be the means to achieving world class manufacturing status (Papadopoulu
DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF LEAN MANUFACTURING SYSTEM IN DIFFUSER HOUSING ABSTRACT Every organisation aims to produce high quality goods and services to satisfy customer needs. In a production process, man machines, material, plant, services and methods are the input feeds, and the outputs are goods and services. At present almost all organizations are reducing prices to gain more profit by reducing quality, but this practice will not hold for a long run, so in order to study on productivity
suggested adaptive production planning and virtual company network. Storch et al (1999) used the fundamentals of lean thinking (Womack et al, 1996) and suggested product work breakdown structure and group technology to reduce waste in a shipbuilding environment. They suggested use of smaller standardized block and proposed a metrics to monitor the lean flow in shipbuilding. However literature in this area has not recognized the importance of planning and scheduling at final assembly stages and efficient

Determinants of Lean Six Sigma Success in Health care Objective: Identify central issues that prevent Lean Six Sigma (LSS) projects from achieving intended targets and sustaining the improved state in the health care environment. Methods: Focused interviews with seven experienced process improvement experts in the health care environment serving as key informants. Results: Key informants noted barriers that prevented LSS projects from achieving lasting success which were grouped into six themes:
the focus of organizations in managing their supply chain, it is observed after performing a literature review that existing literatures lacked
within the context of the global aerospace industry. The methodology used for this study includes a study of emerging supply chain management concepts and practices in the aerospace industry based on a review of the open literature, research performed on aerospace supply chain management issues by MIT's Lean Aerospace Initiative, and selected interviews with aerospace industry experts. The results show that there are significant changes in supply chain management practices in the aerospace industry
Literature review The impact of dividend payout decisions on the performance of manufacturing firms in Mauritius. Dividend Dividend can be referred as a proportion of the after-tax profit made by a company, distributed among its shareholders according to the quantity of shares held by them. Normally, smaller companies pay dividend yearly, that is, at the end of the accounting period while big firms usually pay dividend quarterly. It is the board of directors who decide upon the amount and timing
exchange sectors and with increasing demand in future years the condition is likely to become worse. Hence, it is an urgent need for a country like India to search for an option to run CI engine using a different fuel than the conventional and petroleum based diesel and recently biodiesel, as CI engine fuel alternative, has received more attention among many other possible options. Biodiesel has also
