Lean Production

is a link between lean manufacturing and Industry 4.0, assuming they complement and reinforce each other In the last few decades, the manufacturing sector has experienced a transition from artisanal production to mass production and from mass production to lean production. Lean manufacturing, derived from Toyota’s manufacturing system, is a philosophy that simplifies procedures to reduce losses and increase resources. Today, Lean is widely recognized as best practice for manufacturing companies worldwide. Lean has thus succeeded and accepted in improving performance and fostering competitiveness that its implementation has been extended to other non-manufacturing sectors such as healthcare, construction, logistics, banking and telecommunications.
