Lean Manufacturing System
Lean manufacturing or lean production, often simply "lean" is
- A systematic method for waste minimization ("Muda") within a manufacturing system without sacrificing productivity.
- It also takes into account waste created through overburden ("Muri") and
- Waste created through unevenness in work loads ("Mura").
- Working from the perspective of the client who consumes a product or service, "value" is any action or process that a customer would be willing to pay for.
- It makes obvious what adds value, by reducing everything else (which is not adding value).
- This management philosophy is derived mostly from the Toyota Production System (TPS) and identified as "lean" only in the 1990s.
- TPS is renowned for its focus on reduction of the original Toyota seven wastes to improve overall customer value, but there are varying perspectives on how this is best achieved.
- The steady growth of Toyota, from a small company to the world`s largest automaker, has focused attention on how it has achieved this success.
Principles of Lean Manufacturing:
5 main principles of Lean Manufacturing
1. Define Value as Perceived by the Customer
2. Identify the Value Stream
3. Make the Value Stream Flow
4. Flow at the Pull of the Customer
5. Strive for Perfection
The Benefits of Implementing Lean Manufacturing
The implementation of lean manufacturing through trying to make value flow at the pull of the customer (Just In Time) prevents and eliminates waste in your processes.
Waste being categorized as part of the seven wastes;
- Transport,
- Inventory,
- Motion,
- Waiting,
- Over-processing,
- Overproduction, and
- Defects.
All of these wastes have a direct impact on costs,
- They are all non-value adding operations,
operations that customer would not be happy to pay for and
add no value to the product or service
- Many studies have shown that we only add value for around 5% of the time within our operations, the remaining 95% is waste!

Quality performance, fewer defects and rework (in house and at customer).
