Abstract
 Today, companies that best meet customer demands stand out in the competitive landscape. As a result, businesses strive to improve their production processes to achieve timely delivery, high quality, and low cost. Lean manufacturing philosophy, which aims to reduce waste and increase efficiency, has become an effective strategy in achieving these goals. In this study, improvements were made in an automotive company by utilizing lean production techniques. Following these improvements, the efficiency of each station within the production line was evaluated. The new data obtained were analyzed using Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods to determine at which station the optimum efficiency increase occurred. Additionally, a model was proposed to identify which stations should be prioritized in future improvement efforts.This model provides a scientific approach to assessing the tangible outcomes of lean manufacturing applications and contributes to the process of continuous improvement.
