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).
Lean is not an acronym (âLEANâ). A list of things Lean is not: â Lean â is the set of management practices based on the Toyota Production System (TPS). The phrase âLean Productionâ was coined by a group of MIT researchers who wrote the book The Machine That Changed the World.ean is not about being skinny and itâs not about âcutting to the bone.â Lean is about having the right resources in place to do the right work for the customer, with the right quality, at the right time. Lean is not âmeanâ (although the words rhyme, unfortunately).
