ABSTRACT
Clean and lean is what every organization wants to be. This chapter provides a detailed coverage of industrial engineering and lean manufacturing. Lean is applicable not only in manufacturing, but also in all types of operations in business, industry, government, and the military. This chapter presents the processes for achieving lean manufacturing cells. Lean principles focus on elimination of waste by applying tools such as just-in-time, level production, standardized work, quality at the source, and continuous improvement.
