The Lean model for production and manufacturing is a collection of business practices, strategies, and methods that focus on waste elimination and improvement
All of the Lean components come together to form a culture of aggressive waste reduction, continuous improvement (known as kaizen), and responsive quality
Value-added activities are those things that must be done to satisfy customer needs.All activities that do not produce value (are not value-added) are waste.
Cellular Manufacturing-Cellular manufacturing is an approach in which all equipment and workstations are arranged based on a group of different processes

Kanban is method by which a customer process signals a supplying process to produce a product or information or deliver product/information when it is needed.

The Lean model for production and manufacturing is a collection of business practices, strategies, and methods that focus on waste elimination and improvement
All of the Lean components come together to form a culture of aggressive waste reduction, continuous improvement (known as kaizen), and responsive quality
Lean (and the Toyota Production System) have two main purposes;Provide Customer Satisfaction,Do so Profitably

Within the Lean framework, the Japanese word kaizen describes a ‘culture of continuous improvement.’
There are many tools and concepts that lean companies employ to support the above principles and eliminate waste
