LEAN PRODUCTION (OR LEAN MANUFACTURING): THE STREAMLINING OF PRODUCTION PROCESSES
Every activity can be improved with simplicity, and lean production was born to do just that: it is the set of all those techniques and strategies that, starting from the organizational philosophy within the processes, aims at thecancellation of waste.
Lean manufacturing, then. A system purely oriented toward improving and indeed, exceeding company standards, with the aim of zero waste. A method that focuses on quality understood not only as the quality of the final product but also as the quality of management and production processes. So a key role in this system is also, it goes without saying, played by people.
Lean production: watchword? Problem solving
In the logic of Lean Production we find a decisive way of operating and acting: those involved in the process of continuous improvement must not stop atidentifying critical issues in the system but rather must go out and intercept solutions to the problems encountered, in a shared way, without becoming discouraged.
Item has always sought to improve and simplify processes and in fact devotes an entire category to industrial Lean Production systems here (remember to select the lean production category).
