Abstract

Lean theory, principles and tools, are intended to highlight the value within the company and eliminate waste entirely. Despite the large amount of literature work on lean, there is a lack of in-depth analysis for collection and categorization of specific lean rules for the manufacturing industry. Therefore, the present work proposes a classification, formalization and identification of lean rules, in order to create a comprehensive and applicable library of lean rules, after the investigation of academic literature and a mould-making industry. Finally, the “drawer” idea is introduced aiming to motivate employees of different hierarchical levels in the lean rules development.
