What is Lean?
Also referred to as Lean manufacturing, Lean enterprise, or Lean production, Lean is a production practice that focuses on maximizing value for the customer through decreased cost and production time by minimizing or even eliminating waste. Lean principles derive from a management philosophy of the Japanese manufacturing industry, particularly from the Toyota Production System (TPS).
Lean is focused on eliminating seven waste types:
- Transportation
- Inventory
- Motion
- Waiting
- Over-Production
- Over-Processing
- Defects/Rework
