Abstract

Lean production has been penetrated to most of the manufacturing sectors across the globe. Despite this, this research study will be focus in electrical and electronic industry. Lean production is a practice which regards the use of the resources, creation of value for the end customer, as waste, and thus as a target of elimination. The aims for implementing lean is to eliminate waste, deliver value from the customer's perspective, and continuously improve the processes. Although there are a number of tools and techniques available to improve the operational performance, but there is only a small number of organization achieved significant results after implementing lean. The purpose to do this research study is to identify the challenges and barriers to be faced and overcame while implementing lean and the measures that could be taken to facilitate it. Human factor plays an important role in ensuring lean production to be successful in long-term run. People has the capability in identifying and eliminating wastages. This research study has been proposed with the theoretical framework of implementing barriers of lean production on human factors. There are several research method been used to do the research such as the descriptive research design with quantitative method, survey questionnaire and cross-sectional studies.
