Lean management
A production philosophy based on producing goods with lower inputs and to the customer’s requirements. The aim is to ensure that the entire production and logistics chain is as streamlined as possible. It is important that the process as a whole runs smoothly. In practice, this means seeking to minimise lost working time and materials as well as unnecessary processes without negative impacts on the amount and quality of manufactured products. The process thus also yields added value for customers, as they get the products they want at the lowest cost and as fast as possible.
