MANUFACTURING OF LEAN
INTERNATIONAL FARM EQUIPMENT ON THE ADVANCED PRINCIPLES IN LEAN
MANUFACTURING.
This is a manufacturer of agricultural equipment. The type of farm tractors that are
manufactured in from the hydraulic are different in sizes and more so specialized. The company
offers both new hydraulic tractor part and restores damaged hydraulic parts. Different customers
might order different types of hydraulic portions, and this is of great meaning to the company
meeting the customers demand by generating the order (Shah, R. and Ward, P.T., 2003) The
department of quality control ensures that delivery orders are sent to the factory in a particular
way, by following the order that into which they both came into. And from the manufacturing
company its first order being FIFO.
The Product
During that heavy lifting of tractors on the farm, the power transmission used in welding
at the end is assisted in the session of hydraulic with a metal tube. (Ahlstrom, P., 2004).

A. The Current Manufacturing Process map of a door-to-door value stream.
Below scheme map is the classification of door to door manufacturing scheme
Pavnaskar, S.J., Gershenson, J.K. and Jambekar, (A.B., 2003 pp.3075-3090.)
B. Outline and answer the eight key and basic questions for the future state design.
i. The requirement of the customer.
Requirement of the customer need to be provided with 24000 pieces of hydraulic control
mechanisms in any given month. The sizes in which the product will be supplied will be
varying from 20 to 200 with 50 being the average number of pieces. Each packaged ox
should contain five hydraulic sections in good functioning condition. The customer requires

that they are supplied with the products daily by the trucks from the company. Different
customers will have varying commodity delivered in terms of the quantity of goods they
need. The finished hydraulic sections should be made ready 60 days before the shipping
operation begins, (Martinez Sànchez, A. and Pérez Pérez, M., 2001). The customers are
allowed to alter the configurations of any commodity two weeks before shipment is done.
ii. How often will we check our performance to customer needs?
After the delivery of the product to the customers. A follow up service will be conducted
where the customers are given chance to analyze the quality of the product and also
monitor its performance and incase of failure, he should report to the supplier. The batch
number of the product will be traced and if it is a genuine case the product will be replaced
with a new one. Martinez Sànchez, A. and Pérez Pérez, M., (2001). Our customers also
fill evaluation forms on how they rate our services once every month as this information will
be assessed by the quality assurance team that will ensure necessary adjustments are made in
the production line
iii. Which steps create value and which steps is waste?
The main steps which add value to the product are the cutting materials used in welding to
join metal parts together , painting of the products since good attractive painting bring s in
more aesthetics and as a results high value demand in the market. Feld, W.M., (2000),
lastly machining of the hydraulic sections do add value to the product. However some steps
are just a waste for instance having two welding stations this is a misuse of resources instead
one single welding station. Hence it was found necessary to do away with the extra
welding station.
