Benefits of Lean Manufacturing
The benefits of implementing Lean Manufacturing can affect a company in industrial, commercial and financial terms.
What would be the result of your company doubling or tripling productivity?
Delivery times would be cut significantly, while reducing inventory at the same time. You would cut rejects by half. You can achieve near 100% reliable delivery times. You could achieve a 60% increase in machine availability with no additional investment.
What would this mean to your customers, employees and shareholders?
The result of Lean Manufacturing is becoming a Lean Company; an organization that combines flexible production and the ability to respond to rapid fluctuations in demand. Lean Manufacturing allows Lean Companies to respond competitively to individual customer needs, not matter how complex they may be.
