| description | Many companies are implementing lean manufacturing concept in order to
remain competitive and sustainable, however, not many of them are successful in the
process due to various reasons. Communication is an important aspect of lean process in
order to successfully implement lean manufacturing. This paper determines the roles of
communication process in ensuring a successful implementation of leanness in
manufacturing companies. All the information of lean manufacturing practices and roles of
communication in the implementation were compiled from related journals, books and
websites. A study was conducted in an aerospace manufacturing in Malaysia. A five-point
scale questionnaire is used as the study instrument. These questionnaires were distributed
to 45 employees working in a kitting department and to 8 top management people. The
results indicate that the degree of leanness were moderate. |
