摘要：Lean manufacturing (LM) has been used widely in the last decades for the continuous improvement of existing production system. Lean assessment tool (LAT), one of the recognized LM tool, is used for assessing the overall performance of Lean practices within a system. The purpose of this study is to assess the lean implemented in local industries followed by identification of weak areas in this aspect. Lean assessment has been done by developing a lean assessment questionnaire. The questionnaire includes three major areas: (i) Technology management, (ii) System management and (iii) people management. Likert scale was employed to measure the leanness of industries. Total number of ten industries were visited and their leanness was evaluated. SPSS was employed for analysis of gathered data. The survey results indicated that industries strongly incorporate (i) small lot production in technology management, (ii) total employee involvement in people management and (iii) level load and balance flow in system management. The weak areas identified from the survey include (i) structure flow in technology management, (ii) preventive maintenance in system management, and (iii) housekeeping & control through visibility in people management. In addition, Culture awareness and training centre were identified as weak areas which need improvement A case study of HMC Hydraulic shop has been taken to implement lean tools in industry. For implementation of lean, two analysis techniques including interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and Cross Impact Matrix Multiplication Applied to Classification (MICMAC) analysis will be employee to measure the effective of proposed lean system.
