Lean production is a production philosophy that focuses on minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency. It was developed by Toyota in the early 20th century, and it has since been adopted by many other manufacturers around the world.

Lean production is based on the idea that there are seven types of waste in manufacturing:

* Overproduction * Waiting * Transportation * Inventory * Motion * Defects * Overprocessing

The goal of lean production is to eliminate as much of this waste as possible. This can be done by using a variety of tools and techniques, such as:

* Just-in-time production * Continuous improvement (kaizen) * Visual management * Standardization * Teamwork
