Abstract: Lean manufacturing is now one of the most powerful manufacturing control systems in the current trend. In present competitive and challenging market, industries need to improve their productivity. This research discusses about the implementation of lean manufacturing in the furniture industry to reduce waste that exists on the production floor. The company is having a high delivery delay caused by the component process production delay. The production process delay is caused due to waste by means of non-value added activity about 34%. This research will use standardization work which is one of the tools in lean manufacturing. The application of standardization work has improved the company productivity by reducing production time from 39.83-23.05 min./pair products. Standardization work has proven effective to balance the operator workload so the production process flows continuously.
