Lean Manufacturing is a proven methodology of designing a production system which continuously focuses on minimizing the time and efforts required for delivering a product & its services. This results in engaged people, stable processes, satisfied customers, growth & profitability in an organisation.
The fundamental principle behind becoming a Lean organisation has been brilliantly described by Shoichiro Toyoda, President of Toyota Motors himself, as “reducing waste for improving value addition”. As he said, “waste is anything other than the optimum amount of equipment, materials, parts, space, and people’s time, which are absolutely essential to add value to the product.
By perfecting the principle of continuously eliminating waste every day, everywhere, year on year, Toyota Motors became the largest automaker in 2008 leaving behind the likes of Big-3 – General motors (GM), Ford & Chrysler.
