A lean organization understands the necessity in providing seamless value to its customers, while using tools and methods to reduce waste. To become lean, your company should incorporate changes from the top down, to get better visibility and insight into your company’s operations, and automate your processes with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system with manufacturing capabilities, such as Material Requirements Planning (MRP), and Shop Floor Control. By automating production, planning and quality control for example, companies can increase profits and lower costs.
