Lean Enterprise

To create sustained business improvement through cultural and performance improvement, more and more businesses are now turning to Lean as an improvement methodology enabling them to improve their competitive edge and bottom-line profitability through focusing on value adding activities and eliminating wasteful practices.

The concept of Lean (originally based on the Toyota Production System) is not restricted to manufacturing and applies to the whole enterprise, including the supply chain, new product development, engineering and transactional environments.
