Abstract
Lean manufacturing is a technique to eliminate different waste, but before
waste elimination, it required a waste relationship matrix with lean strategies
to find out their impact on waste. In this paper, matrix used to identify the
different non-value adding Lean Wastes (LW) which are; Overproduction,
Waiting, Inventory, Transportation, Over-Processing, Motion, Flaw/Fault,
Workforce, Worker Fatigue, Work in Process, Process Fail. Also, there are
numbers of Lean Manufacturing Strategies (LMS) which are used to eliminate
these wastes. But question is that which lean strategy is more effective for
selected lean waste. Here, a lean waste correlation sheet and relationship
model will be developed to make lean system more effective. With the help of
this model, there will a sharp idea that what lean manufacturing strategy will
be more effective. A correlation model will generate to find out the
appropriate lean manufacturing strategy.
Keywords: Lean manufacturing strategies, Lean waste and Waste
relationships model.
INTRODUCTION
Lean manufacturing is a valuable innovative tool to eliminate different industrial
waste. Basically, waste can be assumed as three types: value added waste, non value
added waste and necessary non value added waste. Waste is undesirable for industry
and can be eliminated but it is too difficult to eliminate completely. So it is required to

find out the optimum solution which will help to eliminate. This paper will focus on
those lean manufacturing strategies which are most relevant to eliminate respective
lean waste.
Literature : Lean focused that if lean system implemented properly than profit will be high
(Delattre, 2002). This correlation is needed with lean manufacturing strategies (LMS)
with lean waste (LMS) with lean waste (LW), can find the better strategy for
identified waste. The main benefit is to lift industrial production rate and employees
as well as customer satisfaction (Singh, Garg, Sharma,&Grewal, 2010). During lean
manufacturing is implemented correctly in industry; production efficiency will rise
and industrial waste will lessen in form of inventory, work load, standardization from
etc. (Seth & Gupta, 2012). In manufacturing subdivision, new philosophies to
maximum efficiency and less waste is lean manufacturing. Appropriate execution of
different lean manufacturing strategies provides profit and much more (Delattre,
2002). Lean manufacturing grownup in on the whole production yield and supremacy
up customer satisfaction and the workers satisfaction too (Singh, Garg,
Sharma,&Grewal, 2010).
LITERATURE
A variety of styles are proposed by researchers to calculate industry leanness like
logical impression of hierarchal process which was urbanized for industries judgment
of leanness (Agarwal et al., 2006). In this development, systematic pair-wise
comparison will use to review industrial leanness score. Though, most of papers used
integrated index to calculate industrial leanness with fuzzy logic tool.
The identified Lean waste are:-
1. Overproduction
2. Waiting
3. Inventory
4. Transportation
5. Over-processing
6. Motion
7. Flaw/Fault
8. Workforce
9. Worker Fatigue
10. Work In Progress
11. Process Failure

WHY NEED A CORRELATION MODEL
After study the different industries, it found that it is impossible to eliminate different
types of industrial wastes even mostly developed industries is also not able to do it.
The reasons are so many i.e. workers skills, new technology, machine type, changing
environment etc. There are also many mathematical formulas to calculate these types
of industrial waste but main question are:
Why the waste is generated?
What is form of these wastes?
What is the different most responsible reason?
How much waste calculated?
Strategies to eliminate/minimize these wastes?
Selection of best strategy o eliminates these wastes?

The correlation model of lean waste and lean manufacturing strategies must
understand to achieve a better lean manufacturing strategy impact to eliminate
identified lean waste. Wastes can be measured in form of Qualititative or
Quantitative, according to the type of waste in order their relationships. A
“manufacturing metric” a standard to describe the performance of manufacturing
process that can be measured, by which all working employees can efforts to achieve
their target (Feld, 2001). After study the lean literature, there are very less data
available for lean correlation metrics in the existing literature realize the necessities.

Here figure 2 represents the industrial process during lean implementation. This paper
derive correlation matrix which can be used for decision making system. With the
help of this model, waste elimination possibility can be increase to industrial waste
without affecting quality with best appropriate lean manufacturing strategy. Mostly
papers focused on the only lean waste study or only lean manufacturing study, but
there is a lack in literature of correlation between these both important terms. With
help of this correlation, a static and dynamic condition of industry can be measured.

Lean Thinking Discover new ideas to deliver much comfort level and
benefits to industry with eliminating waste.
Toyota production system discovers the seven wastes but in further study, they can be
converted into other types also. Details of these wastes are:-
Table: 2
Overproduction It means excess that wants which requires time, money,
employees extra efforts and extra inventory etc.
Waiting It is the waste which is ineffective and time consuming
during one process to another. Waiting is different types,
which are: job plan, order, machine parts and e-mail etc,
these all are the waiting waste.
Transportation It’s a workstations progress with different machine tools,
parts etc. which assumed as a non value added work. In the
calculating form, the cost and time is high and also may be
a cause of mishap.
Inappropriate/O
ver processing
When an extra work happens on work piece or machine to
avoid rejection or for perfect working, it is
inappropriate/over processing, which is very pricey
sometimes. It also time and money consuming which divert
workers behaviors.
Excessive
inventory
When push system work without any order, goes a waste in
form of excessive inventory. And also money and time
require carrying this type of waste which is nit value added
work.
Impact of Lean Strategies on Different Industrial Lean Wastes 281
Unnecessary
motion
Basically it is a part of ergonomics which is a strong
relation of man and machine. It happens when workers
needs to twist, movement from workstation to another
place. There are the following examples :
1. Layout of machine and its parts to get minimum
movement.
2. Motion between process to take tools and machine
parts.
3. Arrangement of all records and files at correct place.
4. Insertion of all required tools to hand.
5. Less talk of workers during work etc.
Defects Defects are also non value added work which happens with
different reasons, i.e. less worker concentration, poor tool
quality, poor inspection etc. which provides poor work
piece quality that creates unsatisfactory customer.

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
After study lean manufacturing and their strategies and lean waste literatures, results
is that there is less model to select right lean strategy for respective waste. According
to Roslin et al. (2014), selection of good lean strategy is not easy. This paper focuses
on effective selection for lean strategy. It is very clear to see that lean strategy used to
eradicate industrial waste but important to select suitable lean strategy.
METHODOLOGY
This research work is based on case study of manufacturing industry and analysis of
literature of lean manufacturing, different lean waste and lean manufacturing
strategies. Here is a collection of special research papers associated to lean
manufacturing strategies and related lean waste. After study these papers, a related
sheet is prepared between lean strategies and lean waste. The results show in table 4.
This result is according to the lean manufacturing strategies used and lean waste
research papers which are studied. The study held in literature and validate in
industry; then a relation is generate as model. This model will help to find suitable
lean manufacturing strategies.
Figure 3
In figure 3, a process making is discussed to generate model.
CONCLUSION/RESULT
This paper shows the lean manufacturing strategies impact on lean waste which is
very important to make available a better solution for industry to select good strategy
for related waste as shown in table 4. It will help to save the implemented cost and
time also for industry which results a high efficiency. As literature shows that it is
very vast area to study and implementation, so it need some relation (figure 4)
parameters to give better results like shows in this paper. So the research gap was
Impact of Lean Strategies on Different Industrial Lean Wastes 283
which strategy is better for connected waste and this paper trying to solve it according
to literature study. So as per this paper, a literature study of lean manufacturing
strategies and lean waste studies and a relationship model has been generate.
