Abstract
This project aims to elaborate a common procedure for waste management applicable for all the textile subsectors and to validate and demonstrate the efficiency of several applications for the textile wastes volume reduction. In this report, I applied the technique of lean manufacturing in Shahraj weaving industry because this industry is making many types of fabrics that use for useful purpose. The main purpose of this project is that how different types of waste that affect the efficiency of fabrics and decreases the cost of the fabric, can be reduced. That differentiates non-value added activities from the value added activities. It creates an image about the material flow and information flow in products and service. Many other organizations are also using this method because by using this method they come to know about their problems and improve the processes by several techniques. It includes information flow from top management to worker‟s and from the suppliers to customer. For this purpose, firstly the six key performance factors are identify and their performance is identified. These key seven muda (waste) factors are transportation, waiting time, inventory, motion, defects, over-production and over processes. The current state of wastage is being down and non-value added activities are also being identified and eliminated for the purpose of improvement to satisfy the customer‟s requirement.
