The Application Of Lean Production In The Cigarette Factory

Beginning with the great background that the manufacturing industry of our country introduces the mode of lean production, this paper systematically expounds the relevant theory of the mode of lean production, employs it into the cigarette manufacture enterprises, puts forward the method of system design of the mode of lean production in cigarette factories, and finally, describes the guiding theory, method, procedure and condition of implementing it in cigarette factories.The whole paper consists of 5 chapters: Chapter 1 mainly concentrates on the background and significance of this captioned subject. Being firstly applied in the automobile industry, this production mode has gradually been adopted by the whole manufacturing industry. By analyzing the development of our Chinese manufacturing industry as well as cigarette producing industry, it thoroughly elaborates the background and significance of introducing this production mode; Chapter 2 systematically clarifies the theory of this production mode including its basic concept, its innovation, its characteristics, its frame as well as the main content; Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 are the most important parts of the whole paper. Based on the practical conditions of our cigarette producing enterprises, Chapter 3, first of all, systematically analyzes the introduction of this production mode, pointing out that it is an advanced management way suitable to all cigarette factories; and then, fully considering the characteristics of cigarette production while being guided by this production mode's key ideas, it is specifically designed from 9 aspects by means of this production mode's basic methods and management tools, i.e. cigarette production plan and control, cigarette production process and organization, cigarette products development, inventory management, quality control, equipment management, facilities and co-ordination, organization structure and after-sales service, etc.. Chapter 4 completely elaborates how this production mode will be executed in the factories including its execution concept, execution methods as well as the conditions and procedures of its execution, and in addition, vivid examples are given to demonstrate its practical effects in the factories. Chapter 5 serves as the conclusion and perspective of the whole paper, which generally concludes the feasibility of this production mode, its applicatio'n in the cigarette factories will not only greatly reduces factories' production cost but also substantially increase their competence in the market. Furthermore, beneficial comments are also made in terms of its execution prospect.
