A field study on measuring the lean maturity level in manufacturing firms in Turkey
Temelleri Toyota Üretim Sistemi'ne dayanan Yalın Düşünce, israfların yok edilerek sistemlerin performanslarının iyileştirilmesini hedeflemektedir. Araştırmamızda ülkemizde faaliyet gösteren 17 adet orta ve büyük ölçekli kuruluşun fabrikalarının bu tekniklerdeki olgunluk düzeyleri gözlemlenmiş ve hazırlanan anket fabrika yetkililerine uygulanmıştır. Anket, iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. Birinci bölüm Üretim Yönetimi'nde uygulanan teknikler, ikinci bölüm ise Stratejik Yönetim konularını kapsamaktadır. Bu konular ile ilgili sorulara alınan yanıtlar ve gözlemlere dayanılarak her bir teknik için fabrikaya 1 ile 5 arasında bir puan verilmiştir. Her bileşen için belirlenen puanlardan hareketle incelenen kuruluşların her teknikteki olgunluk düzeyleri tespit edilmiştir. Bu kuruluşların zayıf ve güçlü yönlerinin görsel olarak algılanmasını kolaylaştırmak amacıyla Üretim Yönetimi ve Stratejik Yönetim bölümlerinde incelenen konulan kapsayacak şekilde radar diyagramları çizilmiştir.
Lean Thinking, which is based on Toyota Production System, is focused on performance improvements in many areas by the elimination of wastes. In this research, the factories of 17 medium and large-scale companies were examined so as to measure the maturity level of each factory in Lean Production Techniques. Production systems have been observed and a survey has been applied to the executive people of the company. The survey has two sections. The first section js concerned with the techniques in Production Management and the second section is about Strategic Management. According to the answers, which were given to the questions of each technique and the observations on the shop floor a score, which is between 1 and 5, was given to the factory for each technique. The maturity level in each technique was determined by using the scores of the examined companies. A radar diagram was drawn in order to simplify the perception of the strengths and the weaknesses of the examined companies in each technique visually.
