"Lean Manufacturing" simply refers to the concept of producing something without waste.
Waste elimination is one of the most effective ways to increase profitability in manufacturing and distribution businesses. After years of work to eliminate waste Toyota, the Japanese automobile manufacturer, identified the following seven types of waste as the most prominent ones:
- Waste from overproduction
- Waste of waiting time
- Transportation waste
- Processing waste
- Inventory waste
- Waste of motion
- Waste from product defect
Lean principles can also be applied to the "indirect" activities within your organization. Contact Us and let us show you how we can put LEAN to work for you!
