Lean manufacturing initiative is being followed by various organizations in the recent years which mainly focus onimproving the efficiencyof operations by eliminating and reducing wastes. This paper aimed to explain the implementation oflean manufacturing techniques in theCrankshaft manufacturing system at an automotive manufacturing plant located inRajkot Gujarat. Lean manufacturing implementation is very wide concept. There are uses of various tools of leanmanufacturing to reduce waste.Lean implementation using value stream mapping and kaizen. By the help of value streammapping we identify wastes in industry. After identifying wastes we use continuous improvement or kaizen. By usingcontinuous improvement we reduce waste in some processes. Reducing waste establish single piece flow of product. Byapplying lean with value stream map and kaizen reduce transportation waste, high cycle time, rework and breakdown.
