The roles of communication process for an effective lean manufacturing implementation
Abstract: Many companies are
implementing lean manufacturing concept in order to remain competitive and
sustainable, however, not many of them are successful in the process due to
various reasons. Communication is an important aspect of lean process in order
to successfully implement lean manufacturing.
This paper determines the roles of communication process in ensuring a
successful implementation of leanness in manufacturing companies. All the
information of lean manufacturing practices and roles of communication in the implementation
were compiled from related journals, books and websites. A study was conducted
in an aerospace manufacturing in Malaysia. A five-point scale questionnaire is
used as the study instrument. These questionnaires were distributed to 45
employees working in a kitting department and to 8 top management people. The
results indicate that the degree of leanness were moderate.
