To stay in competitive market, every industry needs to make goods in lesser time with minimal cost without hurting the quality of products. The amount of time it takes to turn raw materials into finished goods is known as the manufacturing throughput time. An industry that produces safes, strong room doors, access control systems, fire safety products, etc. has been selected for the research. Strong room door (SRD) department of this industry has the lowest output, according to thorough study. Increasing the amount of products produced every shift is necessary to meet market demand. Lean technologies like 5s, kaizen, poka yoke, and single minute exchange die were used for improvement. After using the aforementioned strategies, it was found that the working space area increased by 42% and the production throughput time decreased by 16.6%. This enhancement led to an increase in the flow of materials from raw materials to final goods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
