ABSTRACT
The technology during the 21st century offers a great promise to the people all over the World. The latest advances in Engineering Science and technology have given engineers powerful tools for re-assessing and reorganizing the systems. In the present business scenario, competitiveness of manufacturing companies is determined by their ability to meet and respond as swiftly as possible to the changing environment scenario and to produce and supply high-quality products at lower cost as per demand of the customer. Thanks to Industrial Engineering, A dynamic discipline in the information era that enables to understand and solve complex technical-economicsocial problems. All the manufacturing companies are striving too hard to achieve their aims, objectives and their capabilities by proper planning and skillfulness, through application of automation and innovative concepts, e.g. Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma or both, Just-In-Time (JIT), and Total Quality Management (TQM), etc. Among these innovative concepts, Lean Manufacturing & Six Sigma is recognized by the manufacturing companies as a major driver to achieve world-class capabilities. Many large and medium-size manufacturing companies have adopted this concept, and experienced reduction in manufacturing lead time and material handling cost, and improvement in quality with other benefits. It is generally agreed that for a Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma program to be effective, it should include a set of tools and techniques or provisions to ensure management commitment, employee involvement, identification of wastes, development of controls for wastes and training and education for employees. These tools and techniques are said to be typical of any comprehensive Lean Manufacturing & Six Sigma implementation program. The implementation of lean manufacturing reduced the waste in the industry and enhances the profit and production. Keeping in-view the benefits of Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma, we have decided to work on the implementation or study of the tools/techniques of Lean Manufacturing & Six Sigma in the Ghandhara Nissan Limited.
