According to Stephen Carson, Executive Vice-President of
Visibility Corporation, "Progressive ETO manufacturers see the
need to update and change their entire business philosophy. They
embrace a lean enterprise to enhance performance and create a
common framework for improvement throughout their evolving
business. This philosophy is often initiated on the
manufacturing shop floor."

when implementing a Lean Manufacturing initiative including:
* Reduce costs and maximize profits through the total
elimination of waste
* Convert from a push to pull process
* Establish and improve standardized products and processes

* Respond to kanban orders, deliver to JIT windows and utilize
kanban for production control
* Implement single-piece flow in the manufacturing area

* Adopting flexible setup across shop floor work centers
