This thesis is the result of a study developed by the candidate about an instrument of Visual Management called “Scrumban”, which comes from the joint optimization of two techniques: “Kanban” and “Scrum”.
Scrumban is a Lean Production instrument originally used in Software industry; its principal function is to track the Works In Progress and to detect any bottleneck or problem all along the production line.
The aim of the work is to promote Scrumban introduction in manufacturing industry, identifying points of contact and differences with software field and to develop a standard Procedure that could guide its implementation in different companies in manufacturing industry.
The work contains a Procedure of implementation, which is based on a Case Study carried out by the candidate in a period of time between April 2015 and June 2015 at “Le Iene” Company head quartered in Scandicci (FI), supplier of several Luxury Brands like “Fendi S.r.l.”, producing small/medium size leather goods. The Case Study, by showing how the procedure has been applied, shows a “Model of Application” demonstrating the compatibility of this instrument in manufacturing industry.
