LEAN MANUFACTURING
Introduction
Lean manufacturing is a systematic method used by industries to minimize waste
products which are produced by the industry during production. This method of reducing waste
products usually involve different techniques which do not affect the productivity of the industry.
The Toyota production system was the first company to use this technique. The aim of Toyota in
using this method was to improve the overall customer value. However, there are various
techniques that the company uses so that it can achieve the best products from lean
manufacturing. Multiple principles are governing the production process of lean which states that
if the waste products are reduced during production, the quality of the product also increases
(Sanders et al., 2016). Thus, lean implementation targets the importance of optimizing workflow
in any given company. This paper aims at analyzing different articles which describe various
processes that are involved in the manufacturing of lean.
The differences regarding the manufacture of lean.
There are various differences that exists in the articles since the authors have a different
perception of the concept of lean. Firstly, the authors differ in terms of lean production and
management, and thi...
