Application of lean methodology in the optimisation of the production process of entrepreneurs

This paper provides a detailed overview of how Lean philosophy can be applied in the context of electric bicycle production to improve efficiency and reduce losses. The central part of the paper deals with the detailed application of these methods and techniques to the production of electric bicycles. Via a detailed analysis of existing processes and losses, the paper provides specific proposals for optimising the production process, improving quality control, better production planning, and encouraging continuous improvement (Kaizen). The case study provides a comparison between conventional and Lean production of electric bicycles, including a detailed quantification of losses and their ranking according to the magnitude of the impact on overall efficiency. Via specific application of the Lean philosophy, its tools and techniques, this paper shows how to achieve significant improvement in the efficiency of the production process, reduce losses and increase the competitive advantage in the market of electric bicycles.
