Lean is a business methodology that results in increased profitable growth, accelerated rate of innovation, and increased customer satisfaction. Lean improves product quality, lowers costs, and dramatically improves responsiveness to the customer.
The Lean Management philosophy originated in the 1950s at Toyota and has revolutionized the automotive industry. Since the mid-nineties, Toyota's successful practices and management philosophy has been spreading rapidly to other companies and industries.
Top-tier companies worldwide have embraced Lean as a core business philosophy. Aside from Toyota, companies using Lean include FedEx, Dell, Microsoft, Wipro, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and many more successful organizations.
Companies that have implemented Lean Management have demonstrated results such as:
- Lowered costs by 50%
- Reduced time-to-market by 30%-70%
- Saved up to 50% on facilities
- Reduced defects by 40% or more
- Four times the R&D productivity of non-Lean competitors
