PRACTICE FACTORS OF LEAN CONCEPT
Keywords:
Lean, Lean Manufacturing, Factor Analysis, Lean PracticeAbstract
This research intended to answer and determine factors which affected to the success of implementing lean system. The study conducted individual depth interview from the managers of the companies. The interview results indicate that 10 factors which influenced to the success of implementing the lean system included 1) customer involved, 2) supplier feed, 3) supplier just in time, 4) supplier development, 5) pull system, 6) flow process, 7) set-up time, 8) Process control, 9) Employee Involved, and (10) maintenance. The researchers used a method of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with principal components analysis (PCA). The extracted factors have 10 factors and 3 latent factors are 1) external risk management, 2) process risk management, and 3) machine risk management. This can be confirmed that these factors can be used to represent the fulfillment of lean.
