LEAN manufacturing is a comprehensive term referring to manufacturing methods based on maximizing value and minimizing waste. Early concepts evolved from the Japanese, but
are now widely used across North America. LEAN manufacturing is customer focused and
allows companies to focus resources on adding value by manufacturing to customer
demand, driving out waste, and continuously improving. The goal of a LEAN
organization is to be able to deliver the exact product in the exact quantity with the
exact quality that the customer needs exactly when they need it. The LEAN techniques
are used to increase profitability by reducing costs – costs that do not add value
are reduced or eliminated. Other significant improvements include employee morale and productivity, customer satisfaction and speed to market.
