Abstract

Lean production is a popular technology which is applied widely and brings a lot of benefits. Many electronics companies in Vietnam apply this technique to eliminate wastes and enhance effectiveness. This paper is to present a study on the application of lean production on a Surface Mounting Technology (SMT) line. In this research, the SMT assembly line with a traditional batch production model would be transferred to lean production-oriented model. This work was begun from realizing the current state value stream mapping and then identifying wastes to establish an implemented plan. Reengineering of the SMT line focused on the aspects of reduction such as reducing wastes, standardizing works, and improving the layout. Some positive results were recorded such as increasing about 50% productivity per each shift, decreasing lead time from 6 days to 192.76 seconds; moreover, controlling the end-line quantities in a day was fixed. Furthermore, the application results are discussed especially.
Keywords: waste reduction, improving layout, lean production, SMT line, work standardization
