Now days, lean are increasingly used by automotive industry to increase their efficiency forrnreducing costs and lead time. The study is limited to assessing the challenge at manufacturingrnplace and improving the efficiency through lean manufacturing principles, tools and techniquesrnin Lifan motor in Ethiopia specifically on selected vehicle 530,. Vehicle 530 was selected for thisrnresearch because currently it has been assembled more in quantity than the rest of the model. rnBoth qualitative and quantitative research methods were used in carrying out this research. By usingrnthose data the current value stream map was developed with the help of E-draw max7softwarernand analyzed through lean manufacturing tool, techniques and principles. After analyzing thernresult of the current flow process the most vital wastes were identified. In order to eliminaternthose wastes across the whole value chin, the future state map were developed and somernimprovement area was suggested. rnResults for the study, after the investigation and the analysis of the application of Leanrntechniques and principles in Lifan motors in Ethiopia, shows that the total production waitingrntime were reduced by 28%. The proposed solution improves the performance of the Lifanrnmotors in Ethiopia to be able to compete in the market and contribute to countries development.rnMoreover the thesis's contribute to an empirical study to the area of research under taken on leanrnmanufacturing.
