KUALA LUMPUR, April 28 (Bernama) -- The implementation of the LEAN development system to boost national productivity and innovation has seen savings of RM8.7 million by 21 public and private organisations, Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) director-general Datuk Mohd Razali Hussain said.
He said the MPC managed to gather 24 projects from 21 public and private bodies that demonstrated a positive impact in terms of effective process and time saving, as well as products that failed to meet specifications.
"Indirectly, through this method, an organisation can help reduce waste and manpower and will be able to achieve the goal of obtaining maximum results in the future," he said in a statement here today.
The programme is a collaborative efforts among the MPC, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry and the Malaysian Timber Industry Board through the Vendor Development Programme.
It is aimed at helping organisations reduce waste and maximise customer value, hence improving the quality of work.
LEAN refers to a collection of principles and methods that focuses on identifying and eliminating non-value added activities through continuous improvement of products for the benefit of customers and in the pursuit of perfection.
It strives to speed up customer service, manage operations effectively and reduce operating costs to a minimum.
