About Congress:-Lean Management focuses on eliminating wastes in processes both in
Manufacturing and Non-Manufacturing Service Functions. Lean Practices are not limited
to Lean Manufacturing but it’s also advantageous to Non-Manufacturing or Services
Functions. We can see Lean Management being implemented in many leading industry
sectors like Engineering, Automobile, Tools, White Goods, Construction,
Pharmaceutical, Chemicals, Retail Chains, Banking, Insurance etc. Lean Management
Philosophy has identified that there are Eight Types of Wastes in Business Organizations
i.e. Overproduction, Waiting, Internal Transportation, Processing, Motion, Defects,
Inventory & Underutilized People. Similarly Lean Management Philosophy also has
identified waste in Non-Manufacturing or Service Functions. Lean Management Tools
are used to Identify & Eliminate these wastes in any organization. Lean Management is
not about eliminating people. Lean Management is about expanding capacity, by
reducing costs and shortening cycle times between order and ship date. Lean is about
understanding what is important to the Customer, both Internal & External. The
principles of Lean Management include- Teamwork, Communication, Efficient Use of
Resources, Elimination of Wastes and Continuous Improvement.
Lean Management is need of the hour, for any Organization and of course for our
beloved Country.
Lean Management is a Service to our Nation.
Lean Management Congress 2010 will be focusing on all aspects of Lean
Management initiatives, practices and success stories in our country and will evolve a
forum for deliberations & discussions for achieving Benefits of LEAN in Supply Chain
Management functions for today’s Competitive Markets which demands continuous Cost
