What is lean manufacturing?
What will be an ideal response?
In lean manufacturing, we develop our production schedule, based on customer demand and actual needs. We keep our inventory, workforce, and other resources lean. Lean, in this case, refers to the lack of excess. Lean means we plan short production runs in response to immediate demands. Rather than “pushing” inventory through our plant, the traditional model, we “pull” inventory through as we need it. We hire only enough people, purchase enough materials, and build enough capacity to do the job.
