    Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach focused on minimizing waste while maximizing value creation in production processes, resulting in enhanced efficiency and customer satisfaction. Here are famous Lean Manufacturing Quotes:

    The seven types of waste in lean manufacturing are: overproduction, waiting, transportation, inventory, motion, over processing, and defects (often remembered using the acronym TIMWOOD). Lean manufacturing and JIT production are closely related. JIT emphasizes producing only what is needed, when it’s needed, to reduce inventory and waste, aligning with principles.

It’s here.
