LEAN MANUFACTURING SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS Lean manufacturing is an approach to production process management with origins in the Toyota Production System, designed for lowest cost manufacturing. Lean is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste. Today, it has many variations depending on industry and production dynamics. Lean holds the promise of invigorating the overall health and profitability of real-time production operations. While Lean initiatives typically focus on process and layout changes, manufacturers are seeking ways to integrate their manufacturing application environment into their Lean initiative to create an automated, real-time information solution that can and be linked across the entire supply network.
