Steel bars are indispensable raw materials for construction. Rebar manufacturer are used to product with large batch to reduce costs. However, that leads to problems such as disconnection between two processes, the accumulation of a large amount of inventory, and deliver delays. This research introduces the lean production management to improve the performance of a case steel bar manufacturer in Taiwan. First we find out the root causes of the above mentioned problems through the value flow diagram and the 5-whys problem analysis method. Then we propose improvement methods with three steps for solving the root causes. in step one the production flow is generated gradually through setting up the environment of pull production. In step 2 the efficiency of production flow is optimized using the result of a mathematical model. in step 3 some supplementary tools are proposed to stabilize the flow. We implemented the three steps in the case manufacturer and resulted a significant improvement of decreasing inventory and then increasing the rate of on-time delivery.
