Invitation for MTIB Lean Management Programme 2018

In order for Malaysia to achieve its status as a developed nation, it is necessary for Malaysians to focus their energy and effort to increase the nation’s productivity rate to a higher level. Apart from promoting innovation, productivity had been identified as one of the key factors by the government in ensuring Malaysia to become a high income nation. One of the ways that a higher productivity rate can be achieved by the timber industry is by implementing Lean Management in their manufacturing system.

What is Lean?

Lean refers to a collection of principles that are designed to give focus on the identification and elimination of any non-value added activities for any processes. Lean is based on Toyota Production System (TPS) which organizes manufacturing and logistics for the automobile manufacturer, including interaction with suppliers and customers. Lean functions by eliminating anything that does not give any values to an organization (such as process). There are five principles of lean management:

• Identifying value from the perspectives of an organization
• Identifying value stream
• Allowing a smoother flow of service
• Providing service as it is being asked (just in time delivery)
• Aiming for perfection

Lean Management Programme’s Objectives

(a) Identifying the source of waste in any main processes and planning improvement counter measures
(b) Utilising Lean Management to increase the efficiency of any processes and operation which lead to higher productivity.
(c) Increases the efficiency of product delivery and customer satisfaction.
(d)  Encouraging the sharing of best practices amongst organisations to become more productive and competitive

Why the timber industry need to join?

MTIB had conducted this programme yearly since 2014. As of 2017, 54 timber based companies had joined this programme. Those companies had managed to record a combined total amount of savings of RM47.8 million. This included savings of maintenance, overtime, space and inventory. In addition, there has also been an increase in the efficiency of facility layout as well as the encouragement of proper standard of operations (SOPs) in place. To quote one of our participants:

“I have never heard the word lean before we join this program. But today, lean practice helps us generate unconventional and effective solution for daily challenge. Improvement and lean effort also help us to increase our productivity by using less resources while the company can enjoy more benefits with our co-workers. Now we know how to map our process with VSM and other lean tools, in order to deliver premium products to the whole world, on time, at a competitive price.

We really appreciate MTIB’s effort to organise this program for this industries while a big thanks (to our consultant) who gives us a very great training and knowledge about lean manufacturing.”
