Lean Manufacturing Overview

The Lean concept is about eliminating wastes, taking time out of processes and creating a better flow.  There are five core disciplines in lean manufacturing:  cellular manufacturing, pull scheduling, rapid setup,  6 sigma/TQM and team development.  Not every firm requires them all.  Others may require supplementary disciplines such as Poka-Yoke.  Click on the elements below to view the core discipline detail.
