Productivity improvement through lean tools in cement industry - A case study.

ABSTRACT: Cement is a vital commodity that accelerates economic growth and infrastructure development, compelling manufacturers to enhance productivity. Lean is a philosophy of increasing productivity while reducing waste and production losses in a manufacturing process. Many organizations benefit from lean adoption by increasing their productivity and efficiency. This study aims to examine the current production system of a cement industry where lean tools are underutilized and explores the potential for applying these tools to improve productivity. The current Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of the industry is almost 65.60 %, significantly below the world-class benchmark of 85 %. The study aims to identify the main causes of production loss or low OEE, including motor damage, bearing damage,
