Introduction
Lean manufacturing is a systematic method for eliminating waste within a manufacturing system while simultaneously improving productivity and quality. It focuses on creating more value for customers with fewer resources through the optimization of processes. Process optimization, on the other hand, is the practice of improving efficiency and effectiveness by making processes more streamlined, cost-effective, and reliable.
This thesis aims to explore the principles of lean manufacturing and process optimization and their impact on organizational performance. By examining the relationship between lean practices and process optimization, this study seeks to provide insights into how companies can enhance their operations and achieve sustainable competitive advantage.
