Lean Manufacturing
Hi,
Regarding lean manufacturing within small-medium sized enterprises in the UK. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what it will look like in 10 years? Will companies still be lean? What will improve/disappear? Just curious as to what fellow manufacturing engineers/managers thoughts are.
Thanks!

What happens is lean, CI, Theory of constraints, Japanese methods etc etc all tend to tail off because no-one embeds them permanently. Then a new team of consultants come in and we go through it all again - so in 10 years not much different unless the company truly embraces it.
