In order to respond to competitive challenges, various ‎organizations are pursuing the implementation of lean production today. The use of lean ‎techniques in manufacturing and even service industries can be seen in writings and ‎articles. From a functional and operational point of view, lean production includes the ‎implementation of a set of tools and techniques that try to reduce waste in the company ‎and the value chain.‎<br />The main issue includes identifying and reducing waste and mods related to processes in ‎the production system. The main questions in this research focus on the definition and ‎corrective measures to improve productivity and achieve the goals of kaizen in ‎eliminating or reducing waste such as excess production, transportation, etc. Various ‎methods such as case studies and field analyze are used as well as value flow mapping ‎to identify trends and implement corrective measures. ‎ This research focuses on improving productivity in the home appliance industry through ‎the Kaizen approach.
