In the simplest of terms, lean refers to the elimination of waste from a process. Key lean goals are reducing the lead time of processes, improving the overall quality of the end product, eliminating “waste” in the form of unproductive time, wasted effort, wasted raw material, etc. and reducing the total manufacturing cost. Companies hoping to implement lean successfully can prevent the risk of early-stage abandonment by trying to inculcate lean thinking as a normal way of doing things—instead of simply implementing the tools and methodologies.
The rise of consumerism and the growing desire for unique fashion have paved the way for countless clothing brands promoting creativity and innovation in design.

Lean standards have started to assume a key job in many different enterprises beyond just manufacturing, enterprises that are currently looking to grow and adjust to the rapid advancements in technology and markets of the Internet age. As organizations change from the mechanical economy to an advanced one, lean ways of thinking are impacting almost all parts of their business. Lean’s central idea of increasing the focus on client’s needs while decreasing the amount of waste produced fitting to our times, as there is a growing need for associations to better understand what customers truly value. In addition, companies need to organize their work activities to efficiently develop and deliver the right products and services and continuously improve customer value and efficiency based on actual marketplace feedback. This “pull” approach is markedly different from the “push” approaches of the past.
