Background…
LPS Journey at RBL…
2011-12 Issues / Challenges :
Entry of Global OEMs resulted in:
Stringent quality requirements – Direct On Line (DOL)
JIT delivery – Kanban based supplies
Increase in cost of resources impacting manufacturing cost
Considering the learning from TQM, TPM, LPS and SPC, an integrated
approach is evolved, focusing on:
Quality,
Productivity,
Delivery (Flow production),
Equipment and
Manufacturing cost
