Lean, or Just In Time (JIT), is the manufacturing and organizational process that Toyota and other Japanese manufacturers have used to fundamentally change the automotive industry.  It is the Toyota Production System (TPS). Lean is best characterized as a systematic approach to the identification and elimination of Waste (MUDA) or Non-value Added activities through continuous improvement.  At PMC, we offer a wide range of operations engineering and management consulting services, all focused on helping organizations become Lean.  We are unique in that our goal is to make sure you never need our services again.
