Abstract

The objective of this research is to provide an integrated approach to the design and analysis of lean manufacturing system from the perspective of lean supply chain. The research focuses on four key dimensions: 1 pricing, investment and order quantity decisions; 2 Just-in-Time (JIT) integrated inventory with investments; 3 optimal cycle length and number of inspections in deteriorating production processes with investments; 4 optimal batch size in a single-stage and optimal number of kanbans in a multistage JIT production-delivery system with rework consideration. The goal of this research is to provide insights to organisations that are designing lean supply chains. It provides a framework for using an integrated approach to the analysis of lean supply chains. The research findings indicate the need for an integrated approach to the lean manufacturing system in order to achieve total leanness along the supply chain to gain significant competitive advantages.
