Abstract
This piece of writing examines the significance of lean manufacturing and the kaizen philosophy in enhancing business activities. Despite the established advantages of adopting lean principles, many small and medium-sized enterprises are reluctant to implement them due to concerns about expenses, job security, and inadequate government support. Kaizen culture, which emphasizes continuous improvement and employee involvement, has been effectively applied by both Japanese and Western companies. The article includes a case study on the pump industry, where the hydro-testing of casing and seal chamber required 240 minutes, and potential for a 25-30% reduction was identified through the utilization of a Fish-bone diagram, validation of probable causes, and Why-Why analysis. The article underscores the necessity of a comprehensive and ongoing approach to enhancing business operations.
