Lean Manufacturing is a popular term, which is applied widely and brings a lot of benefits. As a result, there is a large number of companies applying lean in manufacturing and achieving success e. This paper presents a process to transform a traditional production model to lean one. A case study of applying lean techniques in reengineering an electronics assembly line was done. The suggested process begins from realizing current state value stream mapping, drawing future state value stream mapping to establishing implement plan. Reengineering focuses on some aspects such as reducing wastes, standardizing works, internal logistics, workplace designing and changing layout. Some positive results have been recorded on reducing nearly 40% manpower with the same daily output, saving 30% floor area and reducing average delivery time from 7.5 days to 3 days.
