Research On Lean Production In Supply Chain

The mode of production of the human society has gone through single production to mass production to lean production. Combined the advantage of single production and mass production, lean production is a high flexibility , low cost production mode aiming at dispelling the waste and keeping improving constantly. Traditional lean production paid attention to inside enterprises and has neglected the important function of outside enterprises in supply chains. The present market has changed the competition among enterprises to the competition among supply chains. To respond the customer's needs fast lean thinking must be expanded to the whole supply chain. To realize the lean management from materials procurement to manufacturing to marketing every nodal enterprises should take customer's demand as the direction and cooperate together .The supplier, manufacturer, retail trader and customer should cooperate and share the interests commonly to realize the whole benefit of the supply chain optimally. This thesis stands in the angle of manufacturers implementing the lean production, has studied the problem of implementation of lean production in supply chains combining the lean thinking and supply chain thinking, think that the implementation tactics of the lean production in supply chains is forming a lean supply chain regarding manufacturers as key enterprises. This thesis has studied the lean production theory, the operation system and the way of how to implement the lean production in supply chains, designed the demand pulling production system, gave the way of lean supply, the model of fuzzy synthetical evaluation method of supplier and the way of lean marketing. Finally studied the cooperative mechanism from the information sharing, restraint and trust in supply chains.
