What is Lean? http://www.lean.org/WhatsLean/ The term "lean manufacturing" or more correctly "lean management" refers to a complete business system for organizing and managing product development, operations, suppliers, customer relations, and the overall enterprise that requires less human effort, less space, less capital, less material, and less time to produce products and services with fewer defects to precise customer desires, compared with traditional modern management. Toyota pioneered lean management as a complete business system after World War II. During the late 1980s, a research team headed by LEI Founder James P. Womack, Ph.D., at MIT's International Motor Vehicle Program coined the term "lean" to describe Toyota's system. Lean management principles cut costs and inventories rapidly to free cash and resources, which is critical in a slow economy. Lean management also supports profitable growth by improving productivity and quality, reducing lead times, and freeing resources. For example, it frees office and plant space and increases capacity so companies can add product lines, in-source component production, and increase output of existing products. Companies implementing lean can take advantage of economic growth by increasing sales while controlling costs. About the Lean Enterprise Institute LEI was founded in 1997 by management expert James P. Womack, Ph.D., (http://www.lean.org/WhoWeAre/LeanPerson.cfm?LeanPersonId=1) as a nonprofit education, publishing, and research organization with a mission to advance lean thinking around the world. We teach courses, hold lean management seminars, write and publish books and workbooks, and organize public and private conferences. We use the surplus revenues from these activities to conduct research projects and to support other lean initiatives such as the Lean Education Academic Network and the Lean Global Network.
