Lean Thinking is a method for organising complex service and manufacturing processes to provide large numbers of goods or services rapidly and at high quality.
Lean Thinking was originally developed by the Toyota motor company and has now been incorporated into modern manufacturing and services industries of many kinds. It has materially contributed to safety and quality wherever it has been applied.
