LEAN PRODUCTION SYSTEM: A FUTURE APPROACH

Abstract

All manufacturing activities necessarily generate some form of waste. The manufacturing process does not consist of
hundred percent of conversion of material and energy inputs into usable final products; some portion of the material
and energy inputs inevitably ends up wastes. When the waste generated exceeds the maximum assimilative capacity
of the environment it becomes pollution. The paper focuses on LEAN production, which aims at elimination of
wastes there by reducing the environmental degradation.
