Research report presented to SBL, Unisa, Midrand. / Lean manufacturing is a very good and effective concept of managing a
company. The philosophy of reducing wastes found in a manufacturing
business is a sound idea. When these wastes are minimized, the quality of
the products or services is improved, the production time and the cost of
manufacturing the goods is reduced. With this in mind, many companies go
through lean manufacturing training to get the most out of their systems.
But this is only achieved if there is a proper implementation lean
manufacturing plan. However, despite the training and plans, some
companies have trouble in implementing lean manufacturing systems. There
are different reasons in the failure of implementing lean manufacturing
principles in projects. One of them is the difficulty in grasping the true nature
of lean manufacturing from a human capital perspective.
