Lean Manufacturing
Find powerful lean manufacturing resources.
Lean manufacturing is a key management approach to achieve this. Lean manufacturing is basically all about getting the right things, to the right place, at the right time, in the right quantity while minimizing waste and being flexible and open to change.
The goal of lean manufacturing is to eliminate the many wastes of overproduction, motion, inventory, waiting, transportation, defects, underutilized people, and extra processing time. Lean manufacturing targets non value added activities for reduction or elmination. To keep up globally, and even locally, manufacturing operations must be responsive, flexible, predictable, and consistent.
