Lean Manufacturing Is defined as waste elimination in the production process while creating value*. B. Supply Chain (Logistics) Systems Systems designed to control the flow of production materials to the right place at the right time. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved 6 Understanding manufacturing system differences A.Lean Manufacturing versus traditional inventory systems Prior to Lean systems, previous high inventory systems were costly, inefficient and prevented company growth. B. Supply Chain Systems versus traditional supply systems Traditional supply systems were highly inefficient: difficulty in tracking and accounting for high levels of inventory; poor communication systems caused difficulty in understanding demands; no global coordination.
