Answer 1

1. how the process work in classical method ?

Material management is a part of supply chain management in which material movement can be monitored by the company. Material management team need to ensure the raw material availability on production line. MM need to monitor the material so that production line should not be interrupt. In traditional method of material management, They monitor the material through online or offline process. Their primary responsibility to track and monitor the raw material. Material may be import or local. In classical methos a big batch size is used to produce the finished good. It increase the inventory level in production and maximize the changeover time so that customer delivery is affected.

2. How process work in lean method ?

Lean manufacturing is traditional method in which how effectively you deliver the material by optimum utilization of resources by eliminating waste. Waste always impact the productivity which considered as a loss of money. Lean is a traditional approach in which how you approach to make your organization effective to avoid the unwanted losses ? By using these concept, a throughout time can be improve and it will help to schedule a faster delivery of output so customer will be happy.

By the lean concept, team monitor the waste, delays, idle time which impact the productivity of organization and work to eleminate those wastes. Lean concept always work to reduce the batch size, work in progress, lead time and idle time.

3. identify and discuss the main difference ?

As already discussed in above paragraph that Lean use lower batch size while classical method use big batch size for production.

Lean is used optimum resource utilization while classical method dont use this concept.

Lean concept work to eleminate the error in process while classical method dont have this concept. '
