THE IMPACT OF INTEGRATING LEAN MANUFACTURING AND QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ON ENTERPRISE EFFICIENCY

Abstract

This article investigates the implementation of a quality management system based on lean production principles and the assessment of its effectiveness. The study analyzes approaches aimed at reducing losses in production processes, ensuring efficient use of resources, and continuously improving quality. In particular, production processes were optimized based on 5S, Kaizen, value stream analysis, and standardized work methods. The results showed that integrating lean production elements with the quality management system helps reduce defect levels, decrease production costs, and improve management efficiency in enterprises.
