ABSTRACT
The Lean management system, like the Lean production system, consists of only a few principal elements. Lean management is a system in which the elements are interdependent (as in the Lean production system). That means all of the elements have to be present for the system to work. A third similarity with Lean production is that none of the elements are complex or complicated. And finally, Lean management and Lean production themselves are interdependent; one does not stand for long without the other.
