METHODOLOGY
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Lean Processes management model is focused on creating business processes to deliver maximum value to customers, using the minimum necessary resources.
The creation of these processes is focused on reducing the eight types of "waste" in manufactured goods: overproduction, waiting time, transportation, over processing, inventory, motion, defects, underutilized human potential.
Eliminating waste, improves quality and reduces production time and cost. The lean tools include continuous analysis processes (called kaizen in Japanese), production pull ('push and pull' within the meaning of the Japanese word kanban) and elements and processes "failsafe" (poka yoke, in Japanese), all from the Japanese genba or value area.
