Overview
Manufacturers like Toyota, Ford, Motorola and others have spent years perfecting lean processes. By removing all non-value add activities and focusing on customer value, they have been able to increase financial gains and minimize expense. The concept is simple: by using the minimum amount of resources – people, materials, and capital – they produce solutions and deliver them on time to customers. This focus on outcome rather than process eliminates getting bogged down in paper-work, records management, and error correction.
