Introduction
Despite being in many fields, organizations remain at the forefront of the innovation process. In the competition to produce high-quality, low-cost products, industries want to be more agile and faster.
Origins of lean manufacturing
Lean Manufacturing as a Strategy for Continuous Improvement in Organizations DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.96427. Finally, [2] finds that the constructs of lean, sustainable manufacturing and continuous improvement have a direct, relevant, positive and statistically significant impact on the dependent construct.
Lean manufacturing challenges
It was also found that productivity, first-time quality, reduced lead time and inventory, and space occupancy, in summary, respondents indicated that first-time quality, reduced delivery time, and increased productivity were the top three drivers of lean adoption in this context .
Importance of sorting waste according to the lean manufacturing philosophy
It is about adding unnecessary steps in work activities and not required by the client. It is necessary to note that the full identification and elimination of waste has become a pillar for companies when deciding on the absolute use, investment and management of their resources, which is essential to find opportunities for improvement in the organization and achieve greater process efficiency [11].
Top lean manufacturing tools
VSM (process mapping to identify activities that do not add value from the customer's point of view). They can be improved to reduce the time they are given, and finally the activities that do not create value from the customer's point of view and are unnecessary, and these can be immediately eliminated [17].
Three IT (information technology) innovation trends impacting lean manufacturing
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Smart factory
- Personnel management
SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die), its usefulness in the processes is to reduce the changeover time and increase the reliability of the changeover process itself. It is clear that the adoption of lean manufacturing is on the way to efficiency in the processes of the main business of companies.
Conclusions
The first level is the integral part of the design and development of a new product. While integrated continuous improvement strategies and methods have great power to improve the performance and competitiveness of the companies [6].
Problem statements
Continuous improvement is a management philosophy that approaches solving the challenge of product and process enhancement. Although it is clear from the above that a single improvement tool is not coordinated enough to solve all problems.
Objective
Literature review
- Wastes in the food processing sector
- Waste minimization strategies and mechanisms
- Continuous improvement strategies
- The concepts of lean manufacturing
- Waste reduction and waste removal
- Roles of six- sigma on improvement
- Malcolm Baldrige national quality award
- Literature gap
Six sigma methodologies are abolished to dramatically improve product and process excellence. Integrated Lean, Six Sigma and Baldrige approach in Ethiopia Industries is not researched and not much was found in food industry.
Research methodology
this article is about integration lean six sigma with different tools but not about integration pricing or quality perspective. 21, 30] these articles see alignment and assessment of Lean Six Sigma and Baldrige, but do not integrate everything and not much is found in an Ethiopian context.
Result and discussion 1 Quantitative result
- Analysis of Malcolm criteria measurement
- Analysis of waste minimization tools measurement
- Analysis of competitiveness measurement
- Analysis on waste level using the 7 lean wastes
- Qualitative result
- Proposed continuous quality improvement model
- Feature of the proposed model
It becomes part of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) to achieve waste and error reduction techniques. The proposed Six-Sigma integrative lean model is able to address the core values of lean. The proposed six sigma and Baldrige integrative model shown in Figure 6 is based on the following principles.
The proposed model for integrative six-sigma-Baldrige quality in Figure 6 is able to address the core values of the Baldrige model. We established a connection between the six sigma methodology and the Baldrige model, as well as six-sigma and lean.
Conclusion
Then, aligned with the requirements of the Baldrige model, lean and six sigma methodologies are used to improve the process and achieve the quality goal. The Baldrige self-assessment includes both an assessment of each of the seven categories in the Baldrige model as well as the efficiency and effectiveness of Six Sigma projects. Such an approach to six sigma and lean projects ensures that the company benefits from the implementation of lean six sigma methodologies.
The proposed models for the integration of lean, six sigma with Baldrige are able to address the core value of the Baldrige model and identify the seven wastes of lean. Instead, the company supports integration at this level by ensuring that their improvement specialists are broadly trained in Lean, Six Sigma and the Baldrige model.
Recommendation
However, in this paper, based on a review of national and international literature, 25 key indicators have been selected based on strong 'r' correlation. The Lean Six Sigma & Baldrige application explored here does not point to one well-defined Lean Six Sigma approach; the company does not adopt any particular standardized approach to major improvement projects.

It is the management style that sets the tone for employee attitudes that determines the maturity of lean operations within a company and determines the culture of the lean organization [3].
Literature review
Then comes arguments and discussion outlining the different failure themes and then there is an outcome recommendation reflecting the possible procedural precautions that can control the recurrence of possible failure modes, and finally the chapter culminates in the authors' concluding thoughts.
Research methodology
As such, validating the inferences made on the basis of data from an analytical approach requires the use of multiple sources of information. Through triangulation, reliability of findings can be achieved by including multiple sources of data. Based on the content analysis method, the data were naturally categorized based on the criteria from the Karlsson and Ahlstrom (1996) model.
Then the data was analyzed and the necessary information was released based on data type: text (company documents), narrative (questionnaire and interviews) and visual (photos, video and field notes). In this approach, the well-promoted point of view on Lean is exposed based on the inferences of the content analysis.
Arguments and discussion
Repeatability and reproducibility of results associated with Lean initiatives are invariably absent from the survey. Even qualitative analysis when it is contextual generates arguments, possibilities, hypotheses which can be finally tested to identify the effectiveness of the Lean effort, which rarely happens [24]. Deciding which of the many lean tools to apply, where and when and how to apply them creates inevitable inconsistencies in methodology.
Similarly, situation or tool finds prominence in the whole episode, but the methodology should not rely on the effectiveness of a technique but rather on the appropriateness of the protocol and effectiveness of its implementation. Neglecting the role of consensus and cooperation that forms the basis of human relations will jeopardize the outcome of the strategy [29].

- Convergence
Therefore, creating the right environment is essential as part of planning an enterprise-wide lean initiative. Systematic assessment of system failures in lean operations is essential to ensure value erosion is prevented and savings are maintained. A common understanding of the goal and approach among stakeholders is essential to gaining corporate buy-in for the success of a Lean initiative.
Convergence of the plan is essential to find focus of all values derived from a financial benefit. Convergence of skills, knowledge, capabilities, prowess and attitude is essential to convert and sustain gains into tangible results.

- Conclusion
On the other hand, the term Lean operations refers to the reduction of the non-value adding activities and waste in a supply chain. Moreover, as an important part of the global economy, the food supply chain is closely related to the consumption of natural resources and the emission of pollution [17]. Another supply chain practice that is hugely involved in the manufacturing industry is the philosophy of Lean production systems from Toyota [22].
As a result, the application of the circular economy in the supply chain has naturally become a hot research topic. The above concepts of supply chain sustainability include some circular flows of a circular supply chain, but not all scopes and circular flows. At the same time, some scientists also discussed the challenges facing the circular food supply chain.
It is clear that both approaches can be combined to bring about the ideal and desirable food supply chain of the future.
