Goals of Lean 5S

The Goal of Lean is to turn processes into a competitive weapon. Lean is all about shortening order to delivery times, to lowering costs, to add higher quality and to become more flexible simultaneously.

 

 

"We strive continuously to find and implement ways to shorten that (order-to-delivery) sequence and make it flow even more smoothly. A smooth flow of production can support tremendous gains in productivity and product quality." -Toyota Motor Corporation

 

"Success in war depends on the golden rules of war: Speed, simplicity and boldness." -Patton
