Lean Manufacturing

From the Paper:

"Introduction
Lean manufacturing techniques combine just-in-time processes with total quality management and cross functional teams in order to create an environment where inventory costs are reduced, production processes are made more efficient, individual employees have greater control over their tasks, and the company as a whole is able to deliver greater value to its customers. Companies which are just starting out are increasingly turning to lean manufacturing to provide them with a competitive edge in the market, but implementing a lean manufacturing environment in an existing organization can be challenging and require significant changes in the corporate culture. In spite of the challenges associated with implementing lean manufacturing, a large number of companies, including General Motors and Boeing, have turned to this technique."
