My subsequent study of the IE books brought out the fact that Ralph Barnes indicated that industrial engineering discipline or function can be implemented in an organization in three patterns. Pattern A is IE is practised by expert industrial engineering staff. In Pattern B, managers and supervisors also participate in the IE activities. In Pattern C, operators also participate in IE activities.

Allan Mogensen is an industrial engineer who advocated work simplication. Simplication is a step in ECRS (Eliminate, Combine, Rearrange, and Simplify) framework described in method studies. Epecially each process has to be subjected to ECRS analysis. Mogensen found that operation simplification is one step in which each operator can participate effectively. It is imperative for the organization to implement a system to encourage operators to participate in the operation simplication or work simplifications. Organizations not doing it are wasting an opportunity to improve efficiency and profit.

Implementation of Industrial Engineering in Toyota Motors

Toyota motors made reducing cost and eliminating waste a strategic focus area from the moment, Japan was defeated in the second world war and American occupation of Japan was announced.

On August 15, 1945 Kiichiro Toyoda, then president of Toyota Motor Company, said: “Catch up with America in three years. Otherwise, the automobile industry of Japan will not survive” (Ohno, 1988).  This statement of Kiichiro Toyoda is with respect cost of producing an individual car in Japan. He wanted Japanese car to cost less than American car and then only Japanese people will buy Toyota cars. The immediate problem for Toyota is not quality of the car, which Kiichiro Toyoda believed was of acceptable quality but its cost which is high compared to American cars.  In Ohno's book Taiichi went on to say: “To accomplish this mission, we had to know America and learn American ways” (Ohno, 1988).

Ohno believed that the quickest way to catch up with America was to import American production management techniques and business management practices. Toyota studied industrial engineering (IE)  as according to  Ohno it is profit making engineering. Based on his understanding of industrial engineering, Ohno implemented first in his department and then across the company,  a company-wide system tied directly to management to systematically lower cost and raise productivity. (Ohno, 1988).

According to Shigeo Shingo, management should possess a set of fundamentals closely related to industrial engineering.  If management cannot understand how to attack the rationalization of the current system, through scientific study, then it cannot be expected to improve or change. (Shingo, 2005).

The focus of industrial engineering is cost reduction through engineering and management  practices changes. If industrial engineers had to focus on one aspect of their field it would be productivity or productivity improvement. That is, the total elimination of waste by increasing efficiency through cost reduction (Going, 1911).

Shingo is well versed in the writings of Gilbreth and Taylor. He is a strong believer in the utility of process and operation analysis. Shingo is also an expert engineer. Therefore he could develop Single Minute of Exchanging Dies (SMED) and Foolproofing or Mistakeproofing (Pokayoke) in many engineering activities and generalize them into important methods. But Japanese Management Assocation followed Allan Mogensen's idea of involving front line employees in industrial engineering projects through work simplification projects or activity. Shingo was conducting training programs to educate engineers and supervisors in process improvement. In that capacity he conducted more 85 training programs in Toyota Motors. But, Shingo was himself doing many improvement projects and developing theory, principles and methods. He wrote number of books also.

Industrial engineering in Toyota Motors became more popular as kaizen. Actually, it was an American initiative that made the work Kaizen popular in Japan in the context of promoting industrial way of improving production processes. Thus the kaizen specialist appeared in Japana. Bicheno suggests that a kaizen specialist should be capable of performing value engineering in product design and development (Bicheno, 2000). Gradually, the demand on the kaizen specialist to acquire more skills was made and he was asked to become capable of performing environmental scanning using complex such as the x-matrix, Porter's matrix and other sophisticated diagnostic tools to do benchmarking and maintain competitive advantage in the area of efficiency of the organization (Jackson, 2006). That pursuit resulted in his advocating and implementing cellular manufacturing, production flow analysis and supply chain infrastructure design (Askin & Goldberg, 2002; Srinivasan, 2004). In these contexts, the kaizen specialist is illustrated as person that exists within an organization to advance efficiency concepts in highly specialized areas.  The kaizen specialist is expected to work with employees utilizing team-based worker participation activities often referred to as kaizen events.  They must have the ability to lead groups. Martin and Osterling state that these specialists should be armed with PowerPoint kick-off material, masking tape, whiteboards, post-it notes and kaizen team t-shirts etc. to form the group and get it going in the right direction with enthusiasm (Martin & Osterling, 2007). A successful kaizen event is one where the specialist can get employees to get involved and feel they have ownership (Tapping, 2007). While workers are more involved, the kaizen specialist is still responsible for the results and outcome. Kaizen events are popular because they have been used to accelerate productivity improvements in a short amount of time (Mika, 2006).

Eiji Toyoda, former chairman, once said “At Toyota, Kaizen is in the air.” He meant that you will breathe kaizen in Toyota’s plants, because you can see everybody is working to improve. Toyota’s DNA is Kaizen. Kaizen is a Japanese word which means continual improvement. But at Toyota, Kaizen means everyday improvement in ‘gemba’ or the shop floor (Masaki Imai).

Handbook of Data and System Improvement Information for Industrial Engineering

For effective practice of systems improvement in the area of engineering activities, business activities and management activities, industrial engineering discipline requires a Handbook of Data and Information related to engineering, business processes and managerial processes. But such a handbook was not produced so far. Maynard's Handbook describes various techniques of industrial engineering but does not provide any data or templates which industrial engineers can use for systems improvement.

Taylor suggested in his article "A Piece Rate System" that  a handbook on the speed with which work can be done, similar to handbooks in various engineering disciplines. Taylor worked on both machine speeds and speed of human operators. But unfortunately such a handbook was not produced by industrial engineering profession so far.

Lean Manufacturing Issues in India - 2014

Lean Manufacturing

Lean manufacturing is a conceptual framework based on implementation of industrial engineering in an innovative way by Toyota executives. Now certain principles are derived from it. Its objective is to improve productivity by reducing  waste and decreasing cycle time. .  LMS has shorter manufacturing and new product lead times; team based work organization with responsibility for producing finished products and components of acceptable quality with self inspection in just in time manner. JIT system also employs a smaller supplier  base providing JIT deliveries.

Lean concepts form part of  world-class manufacturing philosophies that advocate utilizing the resources efficiently and effectively. .


The survey, the results of which are summarised in this post,  is based on  71 respondents from thirty two Industries and 63 from forty two Technical Institutions in India.

The key issues for any organization to implement LMS

They are identified as follows:

Inventory: For the implementation of LMS, 27 % and 39 % respondents rate Inventory as a very important and important issue respectively. Reduction of inventory is the basis for JIT.

The cumulative 56 % response indicates that majority consider inventory as a key issue.

Lead-time: For the implementation of LMS, 31 % and 30 % respondents rate Lead-time as a very important and important issue respectively. Reduction of cycle time is another important issue to lean journey.

LMS find out the wastage to time in the processes and eliminate it on regular basis.

Rejection: For the implementation of LMS, 21 % and 11 % respondents rate rejection as a very important and important issue respectively. Rejections have to be brought down to reduce cycle time as well as inventory

This response indicates that more attention has to be paid towards rejection control to improve lead-time and quality of the products. LMS helps in control rejection.

Transportation Cost: For the implementation of LMS, 4 % and 40% respondent's rate transportation cost as a very important and important issue respectively.  Indian companies have to come out with transport solutions that make small lot transportation compete with large lot transportation.

Transportation time and cost play a big role in Inventory accumulation. A proper logistic management will help Indian organizations to reduce the transportation as well as inventory cost. For example In India M/s Transystem Logistics does "Milk runs" for Toyota Kirloskar Motor's (TKM) manufacturing plant (Gupta, 2003) and it  helps TKM to work on the principles of JIT as well as to optimize the inventory levels. LMS advocates the removal of the waste in transportation.

Break down Maintenance: For the implementation of LMS, 13 % and 34% respondent's rate break down maintenance as a very important and important issue respectively. Breakdowns have to be brought down.
Without high availability of machines with proper maintenance it is very difficult to commit deliveries and maintain quality. With a proper maintenance system, which leads to TPM, LMS improve the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

House keeping: For the implementation of LMS, 19 % and 39 % respondents rate house keeping as a very important and important issue respectively. This shows people understand the importance of clean and visible work place.

A good house keeping is required to pick the required items quickly and start the work.  The principles of motion economy recommend keeping all item in designated places and Japanese 5 S program incorporates it.and it became a  basic principle of LMS.

Product Design / Changes in Design: For the implementation of LMS, 19 % and 34 % respondent's rate product design and design changes as a very important and important issue respectively. Value engineering exercise is important for reducing waste that exist due to product designs.In today's competitive world where the variety of products decides any organization's market share, proper management of Product design and its changes is very important. LMS is extended to design activity also in Japan. It helps for a speedy product design and its changes.

Process Selection: For the implementation of LMS, 22 % and 30 % respondents rate Process selection as a very important and important issue respectively. Cellular manufacturing has to be followed.A proper selection of process decides the throughput time, effective utilization of the available resources such as machines, skilled manpower etc. LMS declares overprocessing as a waste and thus helps to identify process waste and  makes selection of a proper process an important decision.

Supplier & Vendor Relations: For the implementation of LMS, 30 % and 27 % respondents rate Supplier Relations as a very important and important issue respectively. For implementing JIT there has to be change in supplier and vendor relations


For the implementation of LMS, 28 % and 24 % respondents rate vendor relations as a very important and important issue respectively. As discussed earlier mutual trust and win-win strategy with suppliers and vendors helps to strengthen the whole supply chain. A healthy relationship with suppliers is possible with the implementation of LMS as well as it is the base for LMS.

Material Handling: For the implementation of LMS, 22 % and 33 % respondents rate Material handling as a very important and important issue respectively. Material handling can be redesigned to increase efficiency.

Waste identification and elimination in material handling system through LMS leads to Lead-time improvement; reduce throughput time reduction and minimization of rejections due to transportation.

Information Technology: For the implementation of LMS, 27 % and 40 % respondents rate Information Technology as a very important and important issue respectively. JIT systems do require MRP and other planning techniques.


It is very clear for the response that use of IT in every field of operations will help to take decisions at faster rate and accurately. IT helps to minimize the wastage due to repetitive nature of work. It also save a lot of time, which is very crucial in today's competitive world. A well planned IT system for the business is must to implement LMS in any organization.

The key issues for the purpose of Inventory Management:

Small Batch Production: For the implementation of LMS, 18 % and 30 % respondents rate small batch production keeping as a very important and important issue respectively. For better lead time and variety products small batch production is the need of hour. It also helps to maintain the Inventory level. LMS principles support organizations to produce small batch production.

Setup time reduction: For the implementation of LMS, 27% and 33 % respondents rate setup time reduction as a very important and important issue respectively. To produce small batch production setup time reduction is very essential. Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) principles developed by Shingo (1989) helps the person on shop floor to reduce the setup time.

Nearby Suppliers: For the implementation of LMS, 15 % and 43 % respondents rate nearby suppliers as a very important and important issue respectively. For faster delivery of components / material nearby suppliers are still considered very well owing to the logistics problem in India. Also the amount of follow up required with suppliers and vendors can be reduced with a proper online system and mutual trust. The global market provides an opportunity to select suppliers and vendors from any part of the world.

Nearby Customers: For the implementation of LMS, 10 % and 45 % respondents rate nearby customers as a very important and important issue respectively. This shows that some times logistics related problems affect the decision of entering in far away markets. But in today's world a manufacturer has little choice of customer selection.

Direct Online Suppliers: For the implementation of LMS, 25 % and 30 % respondents rate Direct Online suppliers as a very important and important issue respectively. The impact of Information Technology in our day to day life is reflecting in the supply chain management. LMS helps to design Lean Supply Chain.

The key issues in the area of Quality are analyzed as under

Process Control: For the implementation of LMS, 46 % and 33 % respondents rate Process Control as a very important and important issue respectively. As the selection of process is important, its control is also important from the LMS point of view. A controlled process will produce defect free products consistently, which is necessary for the implementation of LMS.

Vendor Development: For the implementation of LMS, 21 % and 31 % respondents rate Vendor Development as a very important and important issue respectively. Vendor development is the aspect on which every organization is working seriously. In today's outsourcing world the effectiveness of the supply chain depends more on the vendors and suppliers. The success of LMS depends on the proper network of loyal vendors.

Level of Automation: For the implementation of LMS, 24 % and 42 % respondents rate Automation as a very important and important issue respectively. Many persons see automation as an alternative to manual work owing to its numerous advantages, but in Indian conditions we have to adopt it very carefully looking to the cost involvement.

Measurement of Quality: For the implementation of LMS, 31 % and 37 % respondents rate Quality measurement as a very important and important issue respectively. Measurement is required to understand the present level of rework and for improving it.

The quality of products at every stage of manufacturing is very important in LMS and thus to ensure it a quality measurement system should be in its place.

The key issues in the area of Maintenance

They are analyzed as under

Spare Parts Management: For the implementation of LMS, 24 % and 51 % respondents rate house keeping as a very important and important issue respectively. The cumulative 75 % importance level clearly indicates that non-availability of spare parts causes great difficulty for maintenance of equipment. Thus it is very crucial to have right spare parts available at right time and in right quantity.

Cleanliness: For the implementation of LMS, 31 % and 27 % respondents rate cleanliness as a very important and important issue respectively. A good housekeeping and cleanliness provides a base for any advanced manufacturing system.

Application of TPM: For the implementation of LMS, 21 % and 52 % respondents rate Total Productive Maintenance as a very important and important issue respectively. The availability of equipment at the required time is must for the implementation of LMS and it is possible only with the application of TPM.

Worker's participation: For the implementation of LMS, 39 % and 39 % respondents rate worker's participation as a very important and important issue respectively. It is not true only for the maintenance issues as asked in questionnaire but in all aspect of LMS. The active participation of the entire workforce is sought for the success of any activity. The teamwork provides the perfect base for the implementation of LMS.

Conclusions

The authors made the conclusion that the participants in the survey are  clear about the concepts of LMS.
