Lean Thinking in the Warehouse
نویسنده
چکیده
The concept of “lean” has roots in mass production, originally in the automotive industry, and most famously, at Toyota, where Ford Motor’s original Rouge manufacturing complex was used as its benchmark. Toyota’s managers studied the text of Today and Tomorrow, a book written during 1926 by Henry Ford. Ford conceived the idea of a moving assembly line, after observing the meat packing plants in the Chicago stockyards. He recognized that the process of disassembling a hog or steer could be reversed to construct the automobile.
