摘要:This article examines one of the main directions for improving the activities of structural units - lean production, which is widely practiced abroad, but in Russian conditions it is mainly used by large manufacturing companies focused on the foreign market. The article discusses the methodology for the implementation of lean manufacturing. Seven types of losses were given, as well as a complete sequence of actions to eliminate them. We learned a value stream map, types of streams and their composition according to various factors. We examined the tools in the Lean Manufacturing system for the implementation of this technique. Also, enterprise management systems based on push and pull systems were described, diagrams for them were given that show the essence of the operation of these systems. At the end of the work, conclusions were drawn about the way to improve the enterprise, such as “lean manufacturing”. The main objective of this article is to identify the essence and features of the research based on the principles of lean production in the structural unit of the research object.
