lean manufacturing
This term describes a specific operational philosophy derived largely from the Toyota Production System. It emphasizes the relentless pursuit of waste elimination—known as muda—and the optimization of flow to ensure that value is delivered to the customer with the least amount of resources.
In a professional or industrial context, it is treated as a specialized methodology rather than a general description. It is frequently contrasted with traditional mass production, which relies on large inventories and batch processing, whereas lean manufacturing prioritizes just-in-time delivery and continuous improvement (kaizen).
Meanings
A systematic production method focused on minimizing waste within manufacturing systems while simultaneously maximizing productivity.
