lean manufacturing, workplace safety
Lean Manufacturing is a proven business philosophy that has helped countless organizations throughout the years. The principle constantly challenges companies to enhance and innovate in order to achieve efficiency and rise above the growing competition in the global market. Using Envirofluid products provide clients with the benefits of lean manufacturing.
Originating from the well-known automotive company, Toyota, as part of its Toyota Production System, lean manufacturing (also referred to as lean production or kaizen, which means improvement), involves a series of processes that aims to maximize productivity and increase levels of production whilst minimising waste of material and labour.
The process includes “just-in-time” manufacturing, where companies keep inventory at low levels in an as-needed basis, and reduction of downtime. In a nutshell, the objective of lean manufacturing is to eliminate that which does not add value to the product, company and customer, and delivering the best possible product to clients quickly and with as fewer obstacles as possible.
So how can Envirofluid products help your company with your lean objectives?
