Made-to-Order Lean

Toyota’s methods have rendered remarkable results in high-volume plants, but they have not been fully understood and correctly applied in high-mix, low-volume environments. While lean principles apply in such an environment, implementation methods and tools must be adapted and alternate methods embraced.

Metodele Toyota au dat rezultate remarcabile in fabricile cu volum mare de productie, dar nu au fost pe deplin intelese si aplicate corect in medii cu mix de productie si volum mic de productie. Desi principiile ,,lean" se aplica intr-un astfel de mediu, metodele si instrumentele de implementare trebuie adaptate, iar metodele alternative trebuie adoptate.
