LEAN (TOYOTA)

Today, led by Toyota, lean producers have emerged as global leaders. The lean producer combines the advantages of craft and mass production, whilst avoiding the high cost of the former and the rigidity of the latter. Lean producers set their sights explicitly on perfection: continuing to decrease costs, pursuing zero defects, zero inventories, and endless product variety... Lean (Toyota) focuses on process speed and waste elimination, whilst Six Sigma (Motorola) aims to enhance quality through reduction of defects. Together they create Lean Six Sigma - a potent force for process improvement, which is used successfully worldwide to improve manufacturing efficiency...
