Batik SMEs often face challenges in reducing waste, which impacts production efficiency and product quality. This study aims to evaluate the production process at QRS Batik Small Medium Enterprise (SME) using the 5S, Kanban, and Andon methods to minimize seven waste and improve productivity. The 5S method, which includes sort, set in order, shine, standardize, and sustain, was implemented to create a cleaner, more organized, and efficient work environment. Kanban served as a visual tool to optimize communication and manage production flow, especially among hearing and speech-impaired employees. Meanwhile, Andon was implemented to detect and address production issues in real-time, thereby minimizing downtime and maintaining product quality. The findings of this study indicated that the integrated implementation of 5S, Kanban, and Andon effectively reduces waste related to materials, transportation, and waiting time, while significantly improving product quality and production efficiency. This research hopes to serve as a guide for other Batik SMEs in adopting lean manufacturing approaches to enhance competitiveness and maximize effective and efficient resource utilization.
