ABSTRACT
The automotive industry under study includes assembly, testing and pre‐dispatch
inspection department. Kaizen improvements and 5S are the two lean tools that are
taken into consideration for improvements. The data is collected for the time study and
analyzed with the lean metrics. Line balancing of production line is done in order to
remove the unnecessary steps and thus shorten the lead time. The lean manufacturing
reduces the lead time and also increases the quality of the product.
