Lean manufacturing is a management philosophy focusing on reduction of the ‘seven wastes’ to improve overall customer value:
- Transportation
- Inventory
- Motion
- Waiting Time
- Over-Production
- Processing Itself
- Defective Product (scrap in manufactured products or any type of business)
By eliminating waste (muda), quality is improved and production time and costs are reduced.
To solve the problem of waste, lean manufacturing has several “tools” at its disposal. These include continuous improvement process (kaizen), “pull” production (by means of kanban) and mistake-proofing (poka-yoke).
