Kronos: The Lean Workforce
Streamline your labor pool, cut costs, and improve efficiency with Kronos' lean work force tips.
7/29/2010
A lean enterprise is a business system to organize and manage product development, operations, suppliers, and customer relations. Companies use lean principles to do business more efficiently and with less space, capital, and time than conventional mass production.
Work force is critical to the success of a lean business. Manufacturers can identify non-value-added labor, measure and manage variability, and motivate workers to ensure labor is most efficient. Kronos' report offers additional advice for implementing these practices.
