Lean is a systematic methodology with the goal of creating value for the Customer and with focus to increase the flow of the process by reducing the cost of any process and by eliminating waste from the process.
According to its definition in the Business Dictionary, lean manufacturing is a process that involves never ending efforts to eliminate or reduce ‘muda’ (Japanese for waste or any activity that consumes resources while not adding value) in style, manufacturing, distribution, and customer service processes.
Lean is about IDENTIFYING & ELIMINATING WASTE,and increasing customer value. Lean is about uninterrupted process flows, doing only those activities that add customer value and eliminating all other activities that don’t. “Lean” comes from the flexibility to realize a lot of WITH LESS RESOURCES. Lean is basically all about getting the right things, to the right place, at the right time, in the right quantity while minimizing waste and being flexible and open to change. More significantly, all of these concepts have to be understood, appreciated, and embraced by the actual employees who build the products and therefore own the processes. The cultural facet of lean is simply as necessary like the actual tools or methodologies.
