What is lean manufacturing all about? Very simply put, the lean manufacturing process is a comprehensive way to reduce waste of all types. It could be a waste of time or material, it is still waste.
Many studies have measured the amount of waste a typical manufacturer has, and it is usually shocking, as well as revealing.
It takes time and a lot of effort to change a shop culture. It is not enough to add slogans and banners, or even add one program after another. Lean manufacturing is like adding spokes to a wheel, so the wagon can roll.
