| Since lean manufacturing’s emergence onto the world stage in the 1970s and in its later evolutions, many industries and companies of different sizes and specializations have tried to adapt lean tools and techniques with varying success. Most often, lean manufacturing has been concentrated in large manufacturing firms. Yet, lean manufacturing tools and techniques are also suited for small enterprises. This study investigated how a firm’s productivity is affected by lean set-up time reduction efforts needed to achieve “one-piece flow” in secondary wood products manufacturing facilities on four woodworking machines (moulder, shaper, table saw, and band saw) based on firm size. As part of this study, surveys were administered to firms in North America’s secondary wood manufacturing industry which had adopting lean manufacturing from 2015 to 2015. This ten-year period was chosen since some of the companies involved might not have undertaken any set-up improvement activities on their woodworking machines in recent years. This survey targets industries which widely use moulders, band saws, table saws, shapers, and require frequent changes in set-up of these machines. Thus, the survey looks at members in the wood products manufacturing and furniture manufacturing as identified by the US Census Bureau. Survey questions asked about the company’s set up times and experience with lean to the hypothesis that smaller firms would achieve lower productivity gains through set-up time reduction than larger firms. Both small and large firms surveyed reported productivity gains from reduced set-up times, with several companies citing … |
