Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach aimed at reducing waste while increasing efficiency. The core idea is to create more value for customers by optimizing processes and eliminating unnecessary steps. Key techniques include:
5S: Organize the workplace for efficiency and effectiveness (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain).
Kaizen: Continuous improvement through small, incremental changes.
Kanban: A scheduling system that helps manage workflow by visualizing tasks and limiting work in progress.
