Basic principles of lean manufacturing implementation
Posted: Thu Feb 13, 2025 6:53 am
The main objective of implementing lean manufacturing at an enterprise is to eliminate losses, i.e. to refuse unnecessary operations that do not add value to the final product. In Japanese, there is a word "muda". This concept refers to any actions that do not bring results, but waste resources. Over time, this term has come into use in many countries around the world.
Product value
This is the basis of the concept - a set of bahamas mobile database characteristics of a product or service that the customer needs. According to the principles of the lean approach, any actions that the consumer is not ultimately willing to pay for do not increase the value of the product, so they must be optimized.
Process optimization
Lean manufacturing points out that most processes in industry and services are suboptimal and have efficiency below 10%. Efficiency is defined as the percentage of time spent creating value out of the total duration of the process.

Thus, most processes provide value to the customer only about 10% of the time, and the rest of the time is spent on aspects that are not useful to the consumer.
Experiments show that value-creating processes rarely require optimization, but other aspects can be improved. This is well reflected in the Pareto principle: a small number of processes significantly affect the overall time to complete a task.
