Prof. Dr. risyawati@uum.edu.my raz1152@uum.edu.my International Conference on the Roles of Humanities and Social Science in Engineering (ICoHSE 2010) Lean Manufacturing strategy Manufacturing flexibility Manufacturing system Performance The 2nd International Conference on the Roles of Humanities and Social Science in Engineering (ICoHSE 2010) organized by Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 12th - 14th November 2010 at Bayview Beach Resort, Penang, Malaysia. Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study how the implementation of manufacturing flexibility could facilitate successful lean implementation in achieving superior operational performance. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based on a thorough review of published journals on the subject of manufacturing flexibility , lean practices and performance . Findings – Literature review found options existed for organizations to incorporate manufacturing flexibility in the manufacturing system. Several key issues are addressed in this paper which includes different types of manufacturing flexibility , it’s components, the accurate terminology, different level of manufacturing flexibility , benefits of increasing flexibility, flexibility’s effect on performance and lean alignment with manufacturing flexibility .The main issue focused by this paper is the argument by past researchers that despite the apparent superiority of lean compared with conventional system such as mass production, questions have arisen concerning its robustness in coping with the increasing unpredictability of the business environment. This paper argues that lean manufacturing is not a rigid system and when coupled with manufacturing flexibility, enhance operational performance successfully. Originality/value – This paper attempted to eliminate impediment in successful lean implementation by selecting flexibility as the strategic option to overcome it. It is an invaluable in depth look into the successful realization of a chosen manufacturing system through combination with a suitable manufacturing strategy such as flexibility . 2011-05-11T02:38:58Z 2011-05-11T02:38:58Z 2010-11-12 Working Paper http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/11766 en Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on the Roles of the Humanities and Social Sciences in Engineering (ICoHSE 2010) Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) Centre for Communication Skills and Entrepreneurship |
