How to Go Lean -n- Mean ...
April 24, 2008

Question: I hear a lot about 'Lean Manufacturing.' Where is the best application, and how do I start?

Answer: Lean means different things to different people. Lean begins with a 5S program to clean up the plant. If you are not willing to do this, do not even begin lean. To implement a 5S program is work and, like most programs, it starts at the top. The benefits of running a clean plant are great. Once you have done that, then I would suggest you go for where you can get the greatest return: That would be automation in prepress and the front office.
