What is LEAN?

 

Lean Manufacturing is about creating products using only the absolute minimum of resources and therefore being able to offer customers value for their money whilst maintaining business profitability

 

 

LEAN Background

 

Lean concept originates from Toyota Production System in Japan and was developed by Sakichi Toyoda. The methodology is an ultimate solution for production sites since the invention of assembly line by Henry Ford, because it allows high levels of output using minimum of inventory. Nowadays Lean approach is used in various sectors throughout the globe, and the companies applying it to majority of their processes are recognised for their world class performance.
