Henry Ford defined the lean concept in one sentence: “We will not put into our establishment

anything that is useless.”

Lean manufacturing is a system of techniques and activities for running a manufacturing or service
operation. The techniques and activities differ according to the application at hand but they have the
same underlying principle: the elimination of all non-value-adding activities and waste from the
business.

Lean enterprise extends this concept through the entire value stream or supply chain: The leanest
factory cannot achieve its full potential if it has to work with non-lean suppliers and subcontractors.

Types of Waste
1. Overproduction
2. Waiting, time in queue
3. Transportation
4. Non-value-adding processes
5. Inventory
6. Motion
7. Costs of quality: scrap, rework and inspection
