Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine how to implement lean manufacturing solutions to reduce production waste in long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) production. Data was collected using a mix of literature-based qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The qualitative methodologies include observational and in-depth semi-structured interviews with 22 employees, whereas the quantitative methodologies include a questionnaire. The qualitative methodologies start with a study of the current process as well as customer demand. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) will serve as a tool for the identification of waste by separating value-added activities from non-value activities in the LLIN process. As part of the improvement process, fault tree analysis (FTA) techniques are used to determine the causes, along with the type of lean tools used. The results revealed that, after the proposed improvement, the total lead time decreased by 23.08% and the process step was shortened by 31.03%, which was quite an exceptional outcome. In addition, productivity was able to improve by 9.39%, work-in-process inventory was reduced by 7.46%, production time was reduced by 8.14%, and NVA was lowered by 6.38%. The findings of this study could provide some guidelines for the production manager and the manufacturing organization to deliver successful Sustainable Development Goals and achieve sustainable manufacturing.
