3. INTRODUCTION
• Lean manufacturing is a philosophy pioneered by
Toyota Motors (and codified by James P. Womak’s
The Machine that Changed the World: The Story of
Lean Production)
• Lean Manufacturing is a systematic approach for
achieving the shortest possible cycle time by
eliminating the process waste through continuous
improvement
4. TYPES OF WASTE
• Overproduction
• Inventory
• Transportation
• Defects
• Motion
• Extra Processing
• Waiting

16. CONCLUSION
• Lean Production system reduces all forms of non-
value added activity
• Indian garment manufactures are hesitating to
implement Lean Manufacturing tool
• So as a Technologists and future ENTREPRENEURS
we must encourage to implement these kind of
systems in each and every industry to make quality
and economical production.
