First, a primer
While Lean Manufacturing has been around for some time, here’s a quick primer and something to keep in mind before heading down the road to Lean yourself.
Lean Manufacturing, or TPS, was developed by Toyota Motor Corporation as a means to solve its operational and organizational problems and eliminate waste wherever it could be found. It’s a factory-wide philosophy that each and every human and mechanical process can be improved to better serve the customer. The net result is a constantly evolving operation that strives to replace wasteful practices wherever and whenever possible with ultra-efficient, documented procedures.
