•Quality and Process Improvement

Lean manufacturing is a production practice that


considers the expenditure of resources in any
aspect other than the direct creation of value for
the end customer to be wasteful and thus a target
for elimination.

Importance:
Emphasizes maximizing customer value while
minimizing waste. This approach leads to more
efficient processes, reduced costs, and improved
quality.
Traditional Manufacturing vs. Lean Manufacturing

Key Differences:

• Focus:
• Traditional Manufacturing: Maximizing production volume, often leading to
overproduction.
• Lean Manufacturing: Maximizing customer value while minimizing waste.
• Inventory Management:
• Traditional: High inventory levels to prevent stockouts.
• Lean: Just-in-time inventory to reduce excess and improve cash flow.
• Quality Control:
• Traditional: Quality checks at the end of production.
• Lean: Continuous quality improvement throughout the production process.

information required to bring a product or service to the
consumer.
• Helps identify value-adding and non-value-adding steps in
a process.
•Steps in Value Stream Mapping
• Identify the Product or Service Family: Determine
what you are mapping.
• Map the Current State: Document each step in the
process.
• Identify Waste: Highlight steps that do not add value.
• Design the Future State: Propose changes to eliminate
waste.
