Introduction to Lean
Lean is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste or non-value-added activities in a supply chain through continuous improvement with the goal of creating maximum value.
Lean thinking has existed for over 40 years within major multinational operations worldwide. It started in the 1960s in Japan with the development of the Toyota Production System (TPS), and was quickly established as a method for highly effective production of automobiles and related engineered components.
Lean has subsequently spread to pharmaceutical, aerospace, medical parts, electronics, and a host of related industries. It is now an established fundamental approach for world-class manufacture, distribution, and service sectors.
The strategy for many multinationals continues to be the relocation to tax favorable countries across the world. This means more extensive and complex distribution and logistics challenges. Therefore, there is a clear need to be as lean throughout the extended supply and delivery chain as possible. There is a compelling case for all of these links to work in as efficient and lean a manner as possible in order to deliver the finished product on time and within budget, and to avoid costly delays or errors within the processes.
