Lean is a philosophy with roots in the Toyota Production System (TPS). The basic principle in Lean manufacturing is to create flow and minimize waste in a culture where work with continuous improvements is central. Lean manufacturing is the modern interpretation of the TPS and is based on the 5 Lean principles and the 7 wastes.
Lean manufacturing is often associated with some fundamental tools that support the 5 Lean principles – and with efforts to create flow and minimize waste.
