Ref: Jostein Pettersen, "Defining Lean Production: Some conceptual and practical issues"


Industrial Engineering is a discipline established in 1907 as an academic discipline. Number of techniques are part of industrial engineering. Lean systems use those IE techniques and researchers in lean systems

The IE techniques in the above list are

Waste elimination (Basic idea of IE)
Inventory reduction
Lead time reduction/ cylce time reduction/task time reduction
Setup time reduction
Standardized work
Time/Work studies
Layout adjustment

These IE tools have application lean systems and lean systems are further improved in the area of productivity, efficiency and waste elimination through the use of these techniques throughout their life cycle.

Rapid response to undesirable events is an important feature of lean systems.
