Therefore, it is current report lean thinking as a lean way of thinking allows companies to ‘specify value, line up value creating actions in the best sequence, conduct these activities without interruption whenever someone requests them, and perform them more and more effectively’. This declaration leads to the five principles of lean thinking: Value, Value Stream, Flow, Pull and Perfection. The concept of lean thinking presents great importance in the context of modern manufacturing. The purpose of this book is to present a collection of chapters exemplifying progress in lean manufacturing. The first chapter of the book provides leanness assessment tools and frameworks. The second chapter is dedicated to lean supply chain management (a systematic literature review of practices, barriers and contextua
