An increasing number of manufacturers are implementing lean initiatives to create competitive advantage. Such initiatives can help manufacturers achieve on-time delivery, operational excellence, and continuous improvement as well as shorten order cycles, reduce costs, and increase revenue. However, despite the obvious benefits, many manufacturers of complex equipment have not yet begun or are only just beginning lean initiatives and programs. This paper is for those complex equipment manufacturers new to lean strategies, practices, and techniques, or for manufacturers who feel they are not fully achieving their lean goals. It explores the lean areas of focus in play by complex equipment manufacturers determined to differentiate themselves from the competition.
