Manufacturing management consultants emphasize the underlying principles of lean manufacturing as a systematic philosophy of production. They say their program can especially help small and medium companies become more competitive. The challenge, factory physics basics, operational stability and continual improvement, quality at the source, and measuring are among the concerns they address.
