Abstract: In any process industry, there will be a chance to
increase the efficiency of the process. There is a less possibility of
achieving complete efficiency in any system but there are certain
concepts to make it possible. One such concept is lean
manufacturing. In this paper, bakery is taken as the industry and
its process is studied. It has been analyzed that there are certain
possibilities to make the process efficient. For that, the concept 5s,
a Japanese concept is been implemented in the bakery and the
efficiency of the process is increased. Also, process flow chart and
Two handed process chart is has been worked out for the system
and thus the productivity of the bakery is increased by eliminating
the wastes.

I. INTRODUCTION
Lean manufacturing or the word "lean", clearly specifies the
minimization of waste with a systematic method within a
manufacturing system by increasing or not disturbing the
productivity. [2] Wastes created because of the overburden
and unevenness in the workloads are taken into account in
Lean. Any customer would be willing to pay for the value in a
process when it is taken from the client’s perspective.
The non-value added activity that is decided to be the waste in
many industrial processes comprise more than 90% of a
factory’s total activity. [1] Many Manufacturing and service
industries mainly trying to implement such lean practices and
the adoption of lean is getting accelerated. The Process chart
shows the operating and static position in relation to each
other when the process is simultaneous. For repetitive
opetations, the two-handed process chart is generally used,
and when a complete cycle of work is been recorded. [7]
What may be shown as a single operation on a flow process
chart is considered to be broken into many number of
elements to take up the operation. A process Industry
(bakery) has been taken for implementing the Lean concept
and productivity has been achieved.

II. PROCESS OF BAKERY
A Process industry like bakery which involves the production
and selling process of flour based baked food items that
consists of pies, cakes and breads. Bakeries can provide a
wide range of deliverables that is related to the baking
industry. Some bakeries will be specialized in handmade or
traditional types of bread with local milled flour, or flour
treatment agents.
III. TYPES OF WASTE
Muda, Mura and Muri are the three types of waste that was
given by Toyata. [6] And other wastes that includes in any
process are
Delay, that deals with the time variation from the actual
scheduled time.
Over processing, that deals with the extra processing state
that need not add any value to the process.
Over production, that denotes the extra production of goods
than the demand.
Waiting, that denotes the actual readiness of the process but
it should wait for the previous other processes to get
completed.
Motion, that denotes the movement of the worker for
completing a task.
Inventory, that actually describes the warehouse of a
manufacturing unit that stores the extra produced goods.
Transportation denotes the movement of the materials or
the products involved in the process.
IV. THE APPLICABILITY OF LEAN SIX SIGMA IN
THE FOOD INDUSTRY
Lean Six Sigma have its great successful implementation and
results in a common industry, but it is unfortunate that it is still
very limited in the expansion of Lean in food industry as per
the reviews[3]. But the case studies have proven that the
possibilities of expanding the area of quality improvement in
the industry that deals with food. [4]. And the main challenges
faced during the implementation of Lean in such food process
industry completely varies from the common industry in order
to evaluate the high variable changing nature in the
constraints that includes the fierce competition, the product
quality, varying material costs and the requirements that are
regulated [5].
