An ideal Lean manufacturing facility operates to the beat of customer demand and holds just enough inventory to keep production going. Material is “pulled” in to replenish actual usage rather than purchased based on a minimum order quantity (MOQ). Production processes are linked and operate according to “takt time”. Scheduling is based on actual demand instead of on forecast.
