    Measuring Pr ogress in Lean

    Lean manufacturing is focused on getting the right things to the right place at the right time in the right quantity to achieve perfect work flow, while minimizing waste -- but also at being flexible and able to change.

    For those steeped in classical efficiency training, Lean manufacturing can easily be viewed as a continuation on the theme of efficiency based on optimizing the work flow; it is a present-day version of the recurring themes of Henry Ford, and refined by such pioneers as Fred Taylor, Edwards Deming, Taiichi Ohno. Lean manufacturing is often seen as a more refined version of earlier efficiency efforts (of the early pioneers), and it is very closely related to the highly-successful Toyoda Production System.

    Lean manufacturing is focused on getting the right things to the right place at the right time in the right quantity to achieve perfect work flow, while minimizing waste -- but also at being flexible and able to change.
