Abstract
The company applies lean manufacturing to be competitive in global competition. Through this application, the company carries out quality improvements, cost reduction, timely delivery and other factors. Lean manufacturing is an integrated social-technical system. The lean goal is to eliminate waste and reduce the variability of suppliers, customers, and internal resources and processes. The lean concept is to minimize the amount of time and resources used in the manufacturing process and other activities of a company, with an emphasis on eliminating all forms of waste. A lean framework can be a guide to implementation and help practitioners identify, overcome waste, and understand how and when to apply various lean approaches in organizations to achieve business excellence. This research shows some researchers perspectives on the need for a lean framework. Based on the literature review, there are 3 stages and 21 steps in lean implementation as the initial framework that will be evaluated and produce 3 stages and 8 steps that are in accordance with the needs of the SME.
