"Lean Manufacturing - Revisited"
Speaker: Sam Tomas, CFPIM

Overview

Lean manufacturing has come a long way since first introduced by the Toyota Production System as a method for eliminating waste. Today, lean manufacturing is looked upon more as an excellent collection of tools and techniques that can be used to improve a company's profitable revenue growth position. Companies are now using lean tools and techniques to improve the efficiencies of their manufacturing and business processes so that lower prices, higher quality, and faster deliveries of their products and services can be provided for their customers. Satisfied customers lead to profitable revenue growth.

This presentation will discuss three levels of process efficiency management: Maintaining current process efficiencies; improving current process efficiencies; developing best-in-class performance.
