Abstract

This study examines the influence of Lean Manufacturing on Nestlé Waters Algeria's competitiveness employing advanced statistical analysis methods such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and DMAIC methodologies. The company hoped to enhance key indicators such as Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and scrap rate by implementing a Lean approach that focused on waste reduction and production process optimization. Methodologies such as the Pareto diagram and QQOQCCP analysis were critical for identifying and prioritizing operational improvements. Furthermore, this study incorporated the Voice of the Customer (VOC) and Critical to Quality (CTQ) aspects to align operations with customer needs, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and loyalty. Takt Time was adjusted better meet demand, and Value Stream Mapping (VSM) was utilized to visualize and improve production flows. The results indicate that Nestlé Waters Algeria's competitiveness has been greatly enhanced by the introduction of Lean Manufacturing, which has reduced costs, increased operational efficiency, and improved compliance with quality and safety standards.
