Working from the perspective of the customer who consumes a product or service‚ "value" is defined as any action or process that a customer would be willing to pay for. Essentially‚ lean is centered on preserving

The high performance model is seen by a number of practitioners and researchers as the latest attempt to construct an alternative to Taylorism and lean production. Advocates of the high performance workplace (HPW) argue that it places greater emphasis on skill acquisition‚ opportunities to utilise skills‚ employee involvement and influence than lean work places. Appelbaum et al. (2000)‚ in their US-based study‚ report evidence of a positive correlation between HPW and job satisfaction. Ramsay

Lean production is widely understood to be production based upon a range of waste saving measures inspired by Japanese manufacturing companies‚ particularly the Kaizen and Just in time techniques. Metov’s plastics have taken the decision upon themselves to incorporate some of the characteristics of lean production namely time management and critical path analysis into their manufacturing process and I will examine these. One method used by Metov’s is critical path analysis (CPA). CPA is the process

The term ‘lean production’ came about to describe the Toyota production system in the late 1980’s. This came to pass through a research group from MIT who over five years analysed the automotive industry in fourteen countries. It was called ‘lean manufacturing’ rather than the Toyota production system to make it easier for competitors and organizations to adopt this type of system. The concept of lean production in a manufacturing organization basically means to try and maximise the use of materials

(2009) state that the concept of lean resource management was developed in the 1950s by the car manufacturing company Toyota. There are several aspects of lean resource management including the JIT or just in time system. Under such system‚ the inventory or raw materials that the company needs are ordered just in time to be used to the production process. According to Teresko (2007)‚ Toyota’s Production System is one that emphasizes the concept of lean manufacturing systems. Through such process‚ the unnecessary
