Recent Trends in Industrial and Production Engineering

Abstract

Constantly improvement in shop floor management has become a necessity in today’s worldwide industries. Various approaches are used to fulfill this requirement, mainly including lean manufacturing, kaizen, total quality management, six sigma, and lean six sigma approaches. These approaches are used to improve shop floor management and optimization of resources in the present industrial environment. In the present article, the authors developed a modified lean manufacturing approach to enhance the shop floor productivity through optimization. The purpose of this research article is to suggest an approach to improving and optimizing production on the shop floor by research work have done in the area of the lean manufacturing approach. The authors of the current research work strongly believe that the present research method will be more profitable for young researchers and industry people to improve production on the shop floor.
