Share Adopting lean manufacturing increases focus on equipment changeovers. These are periods when there’s no production and lean often accentuates their impact by increasing their frequency. The benefits are substantial, especially when applied at bottleneck processes. What is SMED in manufacturing?

Kanban is one of the most important tools in Lean manufacturing. By controlling production, it imposes a “pull” system that highlights bottlenecks and drives out waste. It’s also very visual, letting supervisors and workers quickly see the current status of manufacturing orders. What is a kanban system?
