Lean Logistics

A common misconception of Lean philosophy is that it only finds application in manufacturing settings. However, the impact of Lean on the logistician is significant. A goal of Lean is to eliminate waste, decrease work-in-process inventories, and, in turn, decrease process and manufacturing lead-times; ultimately increasing supply chain capability and flow. Logistics flow is paramount to Lean Thinking!

Standardized Work

Standardization of production operations in a key element of Lean Manufacturing. The standardization process is the process of selecting the best know method of performing a given activity, it is also the process of establishing, sustaining and improving the best production practices.

Applying Lean tools off the shop floor

While a number of companies manage to successfully implement Lean Management in production, only a few try to apply Lean thinking off the shop floor. Without a doubt, the hardly visible (measurable) character of the office, administration and services work, makes it difficult to see the benefits of Lean application.
