Lean Thinking involves applying Toyota Production System (TPS) tools and concepts on the “shop floor” working with line staff to convert a manufacturing system with a lot of “fat” into a “lean” world-class manufacturing system. PMC applies techniques such as:

Pull Systems
Level Scheduling (Product Volume and Mix Leveling)
Small Lots
Supplier Development
Leadtime Reduction
Error Proofing (POKA YOKE)
Planned Maintenance 
Workplace Organization & Visual Controls (5S) 
Employee / Process Control
Containerization
Quick Set-up (SMED)
Plant, Machine & Office Layout
Transportation
Reduction of Variation (Six Sigma)
Standardized Work 
Machine-Process Capability
