This book highlights the concepts of lean manufacturing that help to
achieve the objectives of sustainability in a global competitive
atmosphere. Lean can help to lower the manufacturing cost in the rising
labour and material cost market. Lean is based on various fundamental
concepts such as Kaizen, Kanban, Zidoka, 5S and Six Sigma, which aim at
reducing process waste for efficiency and productivity that are discussed
in this book. In addition, the technological changes such as
introduction of Internet technologies and Industry 4.0 are taken care by
the lean concepts, which are also addressed in this book.
