Lean manufacturing is the process of eliminating and managing waste in a manufacturing environment. It is a continuous effort to remove all the wasteful elements within the manufacturing process which hinder or jeopardise productivity. That way, the manufacturing process can be faster, better, and more improved for the benefit of the customers.

What kinds of wasteful elements exist in an organisation? Wasteful elements could be anything that doesn’t contribute to creating customer value, such as specific employees, services, product inventory, processes, or activities. The primary objective of the lean manufacturing process is to identify and remove these wasteful elements for the company’s greater good.

Here are the three advantages and outcomes of implementing a lean manufacturing process in your organisation:

Eliminate Waste Elements

Waste elements create unnecessary costs, expenses, and delays for an organisation. Furthermore, they diminish the value of a company’s products and services to the customer. So if you can remove these waste elements, you can sustain and improve the value of your company’s products and services for the customer’s benefit.

Better Quality Products and Services

The best way to impress customers is by providing them with better quality products or services. Lean manufacturing allows you to save time and devote more resources to producing quality products or services to satisfy customers.

Lower Costs

Companies often deal with things that create unnecessary expenses, such as overproduction, absenteeism, and excess inventory. If you can eliminate these unnecessary expenses, you can save more money for your company. Then you can use that money to improve other areas of your organisation.
