Abstract

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the production of a diverse range of products in limited quantities has emerged to meet the increasingly stringent yet reasonable demands of consumers. At present, manufacturing enterprises are developing or transitioning towards this multi-variety, small-batch production models. This paper optimizes three key areas, production management, material management, and quality management under multi-variety small-batch production model through the application of lean production. Drawing on lean production and management theories, it explores how to optimize production processes, reduce material waste, ensure quality, and achieve continuous improvement. By doing so, enterprises can better adapt to the ever-changing market demands, achieve optimal integration and utilization of resources, and ultimately secure higher benefits.
