Abstract

Companies seek to reduce manufacturing lead-time in order to reduce the cost of the production; short lead-times are a major source of potential competitive advantage and also can help achieve internal supply chain optimization and better sustainability. This paper proposes a study on reducing manufacturing lead time. The research methodology based on survey questionnaire and cased study in order to find potential methodologies that can reduce lead-time and its effect on internal supply chain. This research study will present a conceptual framework of the causes of excessive lead-time. The aim is to provide simple strategies for reducing manufacturing lead-time also to provide internal supply chain more efficiency.
