Improving Delivery Compliance through the Application of 5S, Kanban, and Standard Work in an Orthopedic Products Manufacturing Company

The research focuses on improving the low compliance rate in the delivery of finished products at a textile orthopedic manufacturing company. Initially, the company had a compliance rate of only 79.8%, mainly due to a high rate of defective items (28.57%), inefficient inventory management (23.81%), and disorganization throughout the production process (19.05%). After applying several Lean Manufacturing techniques, the company’s compliance rate increases noticeably—from 79.8% to 84.33%—showing clear progress in product quality, process flow, and overall operational performance. The proposed model includes two phases, the first one is sort and organize. Where the 5s method and work standardization are applied. The second one is classify and monitor using Kanban. Thanks to the optimal combined application of these tools, a positive impact of 4.53% was achieved, along with multiple benefits for both the organization and the workers in warehouses of companies within the manufacturing sector.
