Status of Lean Manufacturing Practices and Its Influence on the Adoption of Industry 4.0 in the Malaysian Furniture Industry. Lean Manufacturing practices is being promoted throughout the manufacturing industry in the country to boost industrial productivity. Therefore, a study was carried out to determine the level of adoption, benefits, and challenges faced by furniture manufacturers in adopting LM. Further, it was also evaluated if LM facilitated the transition towards Industry 4.0 adoption. The questionnaire-based survey involved 484 furniture manufacturers, of large-size and SMEs. The results found that the adoption of LM was prevalent among large-sized companies, and LM improved product quality and customer satisfaction, while reducing manufacturing lead time in the companies. The 5S method of work place organization, process mapping and waste reduction and elimination were the most common LM tools adopted by the companies. On the other hand, the major challenges encountered when implementing LM were lack of know-how, backsliding to old work ways, and resistance to adopt among the employees. The result also revealed that companies practicing LM also suggested that they were more prepared to adopt Industry 4.0 technologies, as the practice of LM has not only reduced waste on the production.

Hollow-profile structures are significantly more stable than structures made using open pro-files, which is the main reason for their use in truss and truss-like structures. The node inter-sections of such structures requires three-dimensional curved welded joints. Small and medium-sized enterprises usually weld tubular frame and truss structures manually, which is highly time-consuming and cost-intensive. In addition, this method requires person-nel with corresponding qualifications to carry out the work as the welders need to adapt to constantly changing conditions in weld preparation and welding position, which obviously requires intensive training. Replacing this manual activity by mechanised welding processes would provide great relief to welders.

Konstrukcje inżynierskie wykonane z kształtowników o przekroju zamkniętym wykazują znacznie większą stabilność niż konstrukcje wytworzone z profili otwartych. Węzły konstrukcyjne tego rodzaju ustrojów wymagają połączeń spawanych o krzywoliniowej trajektorii usytuowanej w przestrzeni. Spawanie ram i kratownic z profili o przekroju zamkniętym wytwarzanych w małych i średnich przedsiębiorstwach prowadzone jest zazwyczaj w trybie ręcznym, co jest bardzo czasochłonne i kosztowne. Wymaga też personelu o odpowiednich kwalifikacjach. Spawacze muszą dostosowywać się do stale zmieniających się warunków zarówno w odniesieniu do przygotowania złączy, jak i pozycji spawania. Wymaga to intensywnego szkolenia. Zastąpienie zatem spawania ręcznego procesem zmechanizowanym odciążyłoby spawaczy w sposób znaczący.
