Lean Manufacturing for lean production
Lean Production focuses on reducing or eliminating the 7 Types of Waste - to create more value with less work.
The roots of the lean manufacturing system come from the Toyota Production System, where wastes are eliminated by systematic application of the Toyota 4 Rules In Use.
Lean Production Manufacturing differs from Lean Office
in that a physical tangible product is being produced.
While it is not true that every organization in the world can benefit from lean
manufacturing implementation,
it is true that every organization in the world (including manufacturers) can
benefit from lean office implementation,
and most of the shared concepts come directly from lean manufacturing training.
The newer term for everything "lean" is Operational Excellence.
