Abstrakt: Lean manufacturing strategy is a one of the known systems that is acknowledged to be capable and effective towards achieving tremendous growth and improvement. Implementations of lean within the automotive industry in Malaysia is not far-reaching as expected and is currently being adopted as a pick-and choose system and being applied only in certain stages and known areas. This approach does not allow these organizations to fully explore and exploit the system's effectiveness; neither do they experience any massive improvements when measured against lean manufacturing success standards. However, factors affecting the lean manufacturing implementation in Malaysia is still seldom debated or being discussed in literature reviews. In this paper, the current level on the implementation of Lean Manufacturing System in Malaysia is discussed. The obstacles of the implementation also are highlighted. The aim of this paper is to propose a conceptual model on implementation of a lean manufacturing system for manufacturing industry in Malaysia, specifically for the automotive parts manufacturing industry. This model is expected to be contributed as a comprehensive guideline for lean manufacturing system implementation within an organization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
