Lean manufacturing techniques for efficient production in the last decade: A decadal analysis with lean tool implementation data

This work discusses lean industrial processes in the industrial sector with a focus on a ten-year review of the literature. Specifically, the aim of the present study is to explicate significant patterns and results based on quantitative evidence. Thus, the outcomes of this study suggest an overall enhancement of the Lean adoption by 80% in diverse corporate environments. This is evident by the rise from fifty firms in 2013 to ninety firms in 2021, respectively. The benefits of lean methodologies might be established by finalizing important performance indicators with quality improvements. A major milestone in this area is evident by a reduction in defect rates by a huge forty percent, from two percent in 2013 to one percent in 2021. Also, cycle time that was 120 in 2013 has been reduced by 25% in 202; an aspect suggesting improved product quality. Furthermore, the poll shows a forty-five percent increase in the number of companies that lean tools have been adopted by, indicating the importance of these tools for sustained improvement in manufacturing processes. This paper compares the set of KPIs before and after the application of Lean tools to identify the benefits of Lean Manufacturing as a long-term approach to creating continuous value. These insights provide detailed perceptions of the various features that are made by the various tools.
