In today’s scenario every business grows very fast and customers wants item in minimum duration time. So if production and services are not in pace with customer demand then the product will be out of race. Hence it is very crucial for every business to keep lead time at minimum. To bring lead time at minimum level, organization must have efficient Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Also continues improvement should be pursued to sustain in the market. To reduce the lead time study is necessary, also detailed information is required to understand the flow of the product. Various production wastes should be identified and reduced to make system more efficient. Various tools and techniques are available for reducing the waste and lead time of production system. To select appropriate tool or technique for waste minimization, they are classified in the 3 groups. This study is a review on various lead time selection tools and techniques for several applications.

Lead time, Lean Manufacturing, VSM, Kaizen, Basic Industrial Engineering Tool.
