Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Most manufacturers run businesses to be able to fulfill short delivery times, frequent shipments, various products, and price reductions. For this reason, the performance of the organization must improve and identify by conducting a process of innovation and product development (IPD). Process performance improvement is used to create a competitiveness and long-term survival of the organization. One approach to improve the organizational performance is the use of Continuous Improvement (CI) philosophy. For this reason, long-term organizational health depends on its commitment to do CI. Many previous studies focused on the performance from the success of sustainable process improvement practices. Much indication implies that lean tools and methods have supported manufacturing organizations to improve their operations process. The real effect is in the area and the difference in an operational performance like cycle time, speed, quality, cost, customer loyalty, and responsiveness. Systematically able to identify the manufacturing wastes and create a lean culture within the organization. Therefore, this study gives a starting point for separating lean initiatives for quality improvement (QI) throughout the organization.
