In these days, when classical production methods are not enough for changing consumer demands, continuous improvements and developments are needed for companies to survive in markets where there is intense competition. In terms of sustainability, it has become a necessity for businesses to prefer more flexible and faster production systems that can meet instantaneously changing demands, and at this point, lean production comes into play. This study aims to determine the transition process of a synthetic yarn manufacturer operating in Gaziantep Organized Industrial Zone to the lean production system and the advantages obtained as a result of the process. According to the pilot region and product selected in the enterprise, the current system was analyzed and the operation was determined. The work done in each process is standardized. VSM application was made to detect the disruptions in the operation and the activities that do not add value. Accordingly, the problems in the processes were tried to be eliminated by using lean tools such as Kaizen, TPM, OEE, 5S according to the jobs in the departments. In the department, where the lean production system was implemented, a decrease in the energy consumption and the number of personnel and an increase in the amount of production were achieved.
