Lean Manufacturing

Lean Manufacturing


Lean Manufacturing even called as Lean Production of simply Lean.

It’s a set of tools for carefully identifying and then systematic removing “Muda” from manufacturing process.

A pro-employee system which along with other types also considers waste created through

1.       Overburden of resources (“Muri”)

2.       Unevenness in work load (“Mura”)



What is waste for lean?

Anything and everything which does not add value.



So Lean is a set of tools which removes anything which does not add value to overall process.

Removing waste reduces improves quality as well as reduces production time and cost.



Lean – Toyota way

In Lean complete focus is on waste and its reduction

There’s a second approach of Lean developed by Toyota Production System (TPS).

Its focus is on smoothening the flow of work which in turn removes “Mura” (unevenness) naturally.
