Abstract

Application of lean strategy based on workplace reorganisation for productivity enhancement in fast moving goods industry has not been exhaustive. Leanstrategies were applied in many industries without providing a mathematic model to mimic the productivity improvement range from the continued workplace reorganization. In this study, a lean workplace reorganisation mathematical model was developed for determining productivity improvement in a fast moving goods industry. The organization of man, materials, machines, and money expended on material processing, goods processing, maintenance and (or) information departments of a fast moving goods production system was studied. Possible strategies of reorganizations were implemented in order to minimize losses and waiting time through removal of non-value added activities covering waste generation and plant breakdown.  On this basis, mathematical model was developed based on Sigma-error proof performance ratio statistics between expected and actual output goods to measure improvement on the five productivity factors, which are availability, performance, quality, waste rate and work environment. Analysis of the data from a team of lean experts using model developed showed that the production process performed better with gradual improvement ranging from 32-100% for the 5-factor productivity measure. Results further showed that the lesser the number of factors considered in the model the tighter the range of productivity improvement outcome. This indicated that the more the number of productivity factors considered for a production process, the more realistic the improvement system.
