The Lean concept is not new. It originated from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, with the development of production systems by Henry Ford and other producers. Key contributors to the evolution of the Lean concept are often introduced in literature and books by Eli Whitney, Taylor, Gilbreth, Henry Ford, Shingo, and Taiichi Ohno.
