Lean manufacturing. Lean manufacturing or lean production, often simply lean, is a systematic method for the elimination of waste (Muda) within a manufacturing system. Lean also takes into account waste created through overburden (Muri) and waste created through unevenness in work loads (Mura).
What Lean Is and Is Not. Lean is not about being skinny and itâs not about âcutting to the bone.â Lean is about having the right resources in place to do the right work for the customer, with the right quality, at the right time. Lean is not âmeanâ (although the words rhyme, unfortunately). Lean is respectful toward everybody who participates in a system, including customers, employees, suppliers, the community, etc. Lean does not mean cutting heads in the name of cutting costs (see âLean is not meanâ).
