The Lean Kitchen is based on the Japanese TPS (Toyota Production System) system that increases productivity, efficiency and effectiveness within the kitchens. One of the principles of this philosophy is to identify the problem, optimizing resources to reduce waste, that is, lean manufacturing, in terms of eliminating bottlenecks and gaps. This article brings the theme of Lean Kitchen, to increase productivity, efficiency and effectiveness within the kitchens, as well as the concept of value, in terms of how much the customer is willing to pay. Therefore, the objective is to apply the lean concept within its outsourced industrial restaurants. Restaurants respond to variations in demands and varieties of service, however, as in any process, there are several problems that need to be meticulously detected in order to heal them. Literature based on Lean philosophy and the case study and metrics were used, such as: Visit to the Gemba reports; information collections; check-list application; problem identification; Brainstorming (team and leadership); Dynamics of engagement with team and leadership; visual communication application, feedback schedule with customers; Tools (5s; Pareto, Ishikawa, 5W2H; PDCA).

The use of lean production in organizations, which aims to broaden your results using fewer resources, that is, to increase productivity producing essentially necessary and eliminating what does not add value to clients, requires actions that include mapping of success environments and organization's readiness for change management. Hence we have the current case study, descriptive, which presents the implementation of lean manufacturing in the textile plant in Blumenau (Santa Catarina) that manufactures medical products from a company with three manufacturing units. Next, there were interviews with thirteen managers and staff who participated in the lean manufacturing implementation process in the unit in focus. As a result, we identified that the requirements and preparations for the deployment mentioned are directed to a behavioral change that includes preparation of leadership, aligned with the organization's strategy, which needs to be deployed to all areas. Also featured are the stages of implementation and attempts to institutionalize the environment provided by the principles of lean manufacturing. It concludes with the identification of categories of analysis for the changes arising from the aforementioned deployment.

Increase Productivity

Small and medium size enterprises often encounter problems in managing and operating production system effectively and efficiently, which result in losing their competitive advantages. It is, therefore, essential to suggest applicable methods to solve these problems completely and inexpensively. Purposely, an application of work design and standardization process to rationalize manufacturing work station would be proposed. A case study at a furniture company is presented as an example. It aims to create a scientific workstation with standardized operations to help worker get more comfortable, and increase productivity, quality and safety. An implementation of proposed method at a workstation of a furniture company brings promising results. A new workstation is redesigned more effectively in terms of comfortableness, safety, and the productivity increasing 15%.

Implementation Level

Lean manufacturing (LM) is a management system focused on eliminating waste and activities that do not add value, with the aim of reducing costs and improving the quality and productivity of organizations. LM has been adopted in diverse industries and several countries due to its advantages in cost, flexibility and rapid response (Muslimen et al., 2013). The objective of this investigation is to analyze the implementation level to the Lean System via the SAE J4000 (SAE 1999a) standard carried out among companies of the State of Mexico automotive industry. In addition, this investigation shows the inferential and descriptive statistics data analysis of Mexican companies compared to the automotive industries in Spain and Brazil. Results show that the implementation level of the automotive industry is at 48.4% in the State of Mexico according to the SAE J4000 standard. Moreover, the involvement of suppliers and the use of lean tools in processes are higher in the State of Mexico compared to automotive industries in Spain and Brazil. However, previous studies ranked the State of Mexico at a lower level of LM in contrast with Spain and Brazil production lines.

Innovative Products

This article discusses the importance of lean product development in the manufacturing industry. Lean manufacturing is a concept developed by Toyota more than 30 years ago. It was motivated by the desire to build better and more innovative products with lower costs. The result was the evolution of what is commonly known as the Toyota production system. This system increases efficiency and reduces waste in each area of the production process by eliminating unnecessary efforts and empowering all levels of the workforce. Lean product development is based on the theory of lean manufacturing. The processes focus on simplicity and effectiveness. Lean product development allows for communication between multi-departmental teams, simplifying and keeping the development process moving forward. Using lean product development to manage projects puts accountability on the project owners.
