Abstract: The dynamic product demand impacts the manufacturing supply cycle by creating operational risks like high inventories, excess manpower and underutilisation of machines. We studied current literature survey on the lean manufacturing to solve the above-listed issues. We considered the independent variable as dynamic product demand and the dependent variable as operational risks. We plotted the value stream map for the selected product manufacturing with daily demand of 25 and 40 numbers to understand the operation risks that occur after changing the demands. We proposed manufacturing excellence models for solving these operational risks. Total lead time in both cases of daily demand of 25 and 40 numbers is reduced by +40%. We conclude this research study as our manufacturing excellence model is successful in delivering the expected results at our selected product manufacturing.
