This document presents a case study on implementing lean manufacturing principles at Hughes Christensen, a leading oilfield equipment manufacturer. The objectives are to develop a methodology for determining lean objectives and eliminating waste in material handling. The methodology involves defining management objectives through interviews and assessments, identifying opportunities through value stream mapping, and implementing lean tools to address issues. The case study focuses on the crown machining cell and reducing waste from stock material handling through a proposed staging device. Metrics are used to measure performance against operational and lean objectives before and after the changes.

Managing Lean Manufacturing in
Oilfield Equipment Industry
Case Study Research Problem Operational objectives are set by top management and Lean Manufacturing is defined as a method of obtaining those objectives.
Operational management is giving a set of lean principles but no way of establishing how to apply them or implement them.
Operational management is often left with the task of defining the objectives of deploying lean principles.
Materials Handling is often one of the key sources of waste in many companies. Research Objectives The objectives of this study are: To develop a methodology that can be used to assist in determining management objectives of lean manufacturing. To show how this methodology can be used to assist in eliminating waste in material handling processes. Case study will be limited to a single cell
Research Approach Review literature on lean manufacturing, its implementation and material handling.
