Measuring Leanness of Manufacturing Systems and Identifying Leanness Target by Considering Agility
… lean concepts. With the focus on "how to make a system leaner," little effort has been made on determining "how lean the system is." Lean assessment surveys evaluate the current status of a system qualitatively against predefined lean indicators. Lean metrics are developed to quantify performance …
