Lean Manufacturers is not a new term for leading manufacturing concerns, the main motto of which is to completely eradicate wastage. Whatever in the process of manufacturing exists without giving any value addition to the final product needs to get done away with. The first focus in this aspect comes on the inventories as they come with huge carrying costs which completely are a waste of resources and finances as well.
Secondly, this process focuses on delegation of some authorities to the workmen, so that the production decisions can be taken at their level itself. This helps as they are more familiar with the production process and saves the time cost of senior management. Lastly, supply chain management with a strong network of suppliers is a must. This helps in a regular supply of parts and the product on to the shop floor as and when required and is highly convenient.
