Lean manufacturing. Lean manufacturing or lean production, often simply lean, is a systematic method for the elimination of waste (Muda) within a manufacturing system. Lean also takes into account waste created through overburden (Muri) and waste created through unevenness in work loads (Mura).
What is Lean. Lean is about the relentless and continuous removal of waste from the processes within an organisation and was an academic description of the Toyota Production System. Lean Enterprise starts at the bottom of the above picture and works its way to the top employing the many tools and techniques of lean. At its final stage every component part of the organisation is part of the lean philosophy.
