The Impact of Lean manufacturing on the consumer product manufacturers
Lean is everywhere. But frankly, I do not think it is implemented for its full potential, nor it is implemented for correct reasons. One of the industries which could have greatly benefited form lean is the consumer manufacturing industry. Lean is capable of providing great boost to the consumer product manufacturers all over the world.
But unfortunately lean manufacturing is not implemented in consumer product manufacturing environment as it should have been. In general industry is just entering the lean arena.
One whitepaper caught my attention some time back in this regard. It talks about the challenges and the advantages of implementing lean in the consumer product manufacturing environment. This white paper is offered free of charge. You can download it following this link.
Findings were very interesting. In fact, consumer product manufacturers face some significantly different set of challenges when it comes to implementing lean. For an example, risk of business disruption due to the changes lean brings in is 1.5 times greater (or 150% greater) when compared with the all the other sectors.
Similarly, when overcoming obstacles lean brings in, consumer product manufacturers have opted in to different methods than those used by the other businesses in general. For an example they have placed low importance on getting external domain expertise than the others.
This white paper provides very interesting quantified observations. Importantly all this information is packed into just 6 pages. I believe even if you are not from the consumer manufacturing industry, this information can bring you some valuable insights to lean manufacturing. You can download this for free by following this link.
Let me know what you think about the information here and on the white paper. Please leave your comment.
