A System Analysis Approach to Analyze and Develop ERP System Modules Based On The Principles of Lean Manufacturing
Abstract
Modern manufacturing applies Lean Manufacturing Systems, also known as the Toyota Production System (TPS), to reduce waste and increase efficiency. Organizations are often forced to implement their Lean manufacturing independently of their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system due to their conflicting philosophies and therefore finding themselves administrating two independent systems (Bartholomew, 2012a; Steger-Jensen & Hvolby, 2008). The ERP systems that evolved till now are criticized for not supporting the Lean philosophy and therefore not useful in a Lean manufacturing environment (Bartholomew, 2012a)
