How to Implement Lean Manufacturing by Lonnie Wilson

Lean manufacturing es una filosofía de gestión enfocada a la reducción de los 7 tipos de "desperdicios" (sobreproducción, tiempo de espera, transporte, exceso de procesado, inventario, movimiento y defectos) en productos manufacturados. Eliminando el despilfarro, la calidad mejora, y el tiempo de producción y el costo se reducen. Las herramientas "lean" (en inglés, "sin grasa") incluyen procesos continuos de análisis (kaizen), producción "pull" (en el sentido de kanban), y elementos y procesos "a prueba de fallos" (poka yoke).
