Abstract

This article presents a methodology utilizing Lean Manufacturing tools to optimize internal organization and flow management in SMEs. Through analysis, dysfunction identification, and collaborative solutions, the approach aims to enhance efficiency and competitiveness. The methodology was validated in an Algerian SME, resulting in a redesigned workshop layout for improved space utilization and employee working environment. Emphasizing material and informational flow control, waste reduction, and collaborative practices like the "water spider" method, this methodology enables swift problem resolution and implementation of corrective actions, ensuring sustained competitiveness in a dynamic economic landscape.
