Lean Engineering Analysis
A Lean engineering analysis is a fundamental tool to provide data on a given process. The deliverables of this technique are as follows:
1. Achieve balance across a process.
2. Maximize value-added labor content.
3. Maximize machine use.
4. Identify and quantify focus topics for Six Sigma activity.
