Introduction:
The increasing globalization, leading to intense competition from domestic and international players is forcing manufacturing and non manufacturing businesses to bring breakthrough improvement in Operations. Organizations are faced with severe strain on profit margins and human capital sustenance. As prices are no longer controlled by the manufacturers but are dictated by the market forces and more consumer driven. The only alternative in vision is to focus on operational excellence to control prices and stay ahead of competition.
Toyota has been an organization who has taken operational excellence to the utmost level. It took them decades to develop and nurture a culture and system of managing the organization where waste in terms of non- value added activity is identified and eliminated continuously. This was later defined as Lean Manufacturing or Toyota Production System. Over the time the philosophy has percolated to other sectors beyond manufacturing viz health care, software, aerospace, financial etc .
