Introduction
Japanese Company introduced Lean after the Second World War. It was a time for
most industries in Japan, especially the automotive industry. They were facing with
shortages of raw material, financial and human resources. Eiiji Toyoda and Taiichi
Ohno of Toyota Motor Company pioneered the concept of Toyota Production System
as a mean to overcome these shortages. The system was known as Lean
Manufacturing in the United States.
Its basic idea was to eliminate waste. Waste was defined as anything that does not
add values to the end products from the customer’s perspective. Its objective was to
improve business operations and to be more competitive. The objective was to
improve business operations and to be more competitive in the market. This would
be achievable through the implementation of various Lean Manufacturing tools and
techniques. This could be achieved through the implementation of various Lean
Manufacturing tools and techniques.
Quickly following the success of Lean Manufacturing in Japan, other companies and
industries, particularly in the US, copied the system. According to Womack and Jones
the word ‘Lean’ denoted a system that utilised less input to create the same output
as those created by a traditional mass production system, while increased varieties
for the end customers.
Lean is to manufacture only what is needed by the customers, when it is needed and
in the quantities ordered. The manufacture of product is done in a way that
minimises the time taken to deliver the finished product, the amount of labour
required and the floor space required. The process is done at a lower cost but with
the highest quality of finished product.
CTRM AC Lean History
CTRM AC started its Lean Programmes since June 2003. A Self-Managing Team was
one of the pioneer programmes, focusing the manufacturing department. On 5th
August 2004, Datuk Rosdi Mahmud, CEO of CTRM officially launched the Lean
Programme to be part of CTRM working culture. Since then, Lean was practiced
through awareness training, especially for the operations personnel. The training was
important, as all personnel must be made to understand Lean concept and
Management’s strategy.
Lean Promotion Office was responsible for the success of this programme. It was a
tough challenge as it was not an easy task to change the traditional working culture
to lean thinking. Every personnel are different in their character, behaviour and
thinking. These are not obstacles for the LPO team, but they took it as an
opportunity to make Lean as company work culture by end of 2015.
