| LEAN PRODUCTION |
     ONE HOUR TODAY IS WORTH TWO TOMORROW. Build to order (BTO) is the most appropriate approach used for highly customised or low-volume products. Lean production is a variation on the theme of efficiency based on optimizing flow; it is a present-day instance of the recurring theme in human history toward increasing efficiency, decreasing waste, and using empirical methods to decide what matters, rather than uncritically accepting pre-existing ideas. |
