Research On The Implementation Of Lean Production In ZLZN Company

With the outbreak of the oil crisis in 1973, a new production mode called Toyota production has aroused people’s concern. Through a series of investigation in Japan, The research group of Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) developed The Fine Production "Lean Production" on the basis of the new production mode. Afterwards, “The Machine that Changed the World”, written by the Americans(James Womack and Daniel Jones), displayed that kind of production systematically in front of the world for the first time. More and more countries and enterprises started to study and tried to implement The Fine Production. In recent years, many Fine Production enterprises have set up factories in China, such as TOYOTA, HONDA, PANASONIC and so on. These factories not only take advantage of low-cost production in China, but also cultivate a batch of production supervisors who familiar with Lean Production. A large number of domestic enterprises are studying and trying to apply Lean management thinking to the enterprise’s production management. As a result, the product quality and the competitive power with international brands have been improved, and it also brought a remarkable economic benefits.In this paper, combined with the ZLZN company’s actual situation, methods of problems finding, problems solving and implementation of The Fine Production are explained in details on the basis of The Fine Production theory and implementation examples at home and abroad, and the implementation effects of "Lean Production" in ZLZN company are also evaluated. Practice has proved that the problems which found out are correct, the solutions are appropriate, and the promotion are effective. It is a correct choice to promote The Lean Production in ZLZN company. Besides, because of Chinese enterprises and Japanese enterprises are in different system and culture, It is not suitable for enterprises in China to copy indiscriminately from the Japanese reference books about The Fine Production. We should find out the suitable skills and methods in the process of implementation, according to our factory conditions and national conditions. In addition, the research on The Fine Production in ZLZN company can be used for reference to other researchers and hope that a suitable production management mode for China’s equipment manufacturing industry will be studied out to promote the productivity level.
