7 Wastes 3 Broad Types of Wastes Transitioning To a Lean Enterprise: Kore 10 Tips Creating Sustainable Value CReating Customer Value 80/20 Principle and Continuous Improvement Business e-Coach Lean Production / Lean Manufacturing - Doing More With Less  

Lean is about doing more with less: less time, inventory, space, labor, and money. 

Lean manufacturing is about commitment to eliminating waste, simplifying procedures and speeding up production. The idea is to pull inventory through based on customer demand.

 

 

 

Lean Manufacturing – also known as the Toyota Production System (TPS) – is, in its most basic form, the systematic elimination of waste – overproduction, waiting, transportation, inventory, motion, over-processing, defective units – and the implementation of the concepts of continuous flow and customer pull. By continually focusing on waste reduction, lean enterprises can achieve unlimited benefits.

Five areas drive lean manufacturing: cost, quality, delivery, safety, and morale.

Value is defined by the ultimate customer’s needs.

Management Philosophy

Toyota perfected lean manufacturing in the 1990s, and now the concept is being put to use in other areas, such as organizational structures, distribution and logistics.

Though books have been written detailing the steps to achieving lean manufacturing and many manufacturers have tried to emulate Toyota's success, few have actually done so. Why? Because they have failed to adopt lean manufacturing as a management philosophy that encompasses the entire organization. Instead, they see it only as a departmental solution.

Toyota's Management Philosophy

Toyota's management philosophy is enterprise-wide. Toyota states: "...based on the concept of continuous improvement, or Kaizen, every Toyota team member is empowered with the ability to improve their work environment. This includes everything from quality and safety to the environment and productivity. Improvements and suggestions by team members are the cornerstone of Toyota's success."... More
