Lean manufacturing to improve the process quality at a minimum cost.

Lean manufacturing to improve the process quality at a minimum cost.

Lean manufacturing is the production control technique for eliminating waste from your manufacturing. We would like not only to introduce you to the many production control techniques that have been created in Japan such as the Toyota Production System, Production Scheduling, JIT, KANBAN and 5S etc
