Lean Manufacturing

Lean Manufacturing can be defined as:

"A systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste (non-value-added activities) through continuous improvement by allowing the product to flow in response to the pull of the customer in pursuit of perfection."

Value

In lean production, the value of a product is defined solely by the customer. The product must meet the customer's needs at both a specific time and price. The thousands of mundane and sophisticated things that manufacturers do to deliver a product are generally of little interest to customers.

To view value from the eyes of the customer requires most companies to undergo comprehensive analysis of all their business processes. Identifying the value in lean production means to understand all the activities required to produce a specific product, and then to optimise the whole process from the view of the customer.

Pro Enviro can help you identify these processes and help you to implement lean production methods across your organisation, both for your and your customer's benefit.
