Lean Management

The lean manufacturing method is built on eliminating waste in the production system – that's any waste, including waste of materials, time, energy, talent and processing effort. Built historically on Toyota's strategies, Lean is based in the world of manufacturing where it is intrinsic to systematic attempts to save time and money and to increase efficiency by simplifying processes and procedures.
