Lean Production System

The term “Lean” was introduced by James Womack, author of “Lean Thinking” to describe what he observed at Toyota Motor Corporation.  Toyota has been practicing Lean Manufacturing principles for over 50 years now.

 

The Lean Production System is based on the Toyota Production System, which is famed as being a powerful tool for delivering goods and services to the customer:
 
  • On demand
  • One by one
  • In Sequence
  • At the lowest possible cost and without defects

The Toyota Production system is supported by two essential concepts: Just-in-Time (JIT) and Jidoka (Autonomation), which in turn are based on the “Level Production” concept (Heijunka)

 

The Lean Production System is recognized among manufacturers worldwide as the best production efficiency system available.  With the adoption of this system enterprise not only can greatly reduce its costs and delivery lead-time, but also improve its quality significantly.
