Optimum Lean Production Saves Manufacturing Costs, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

The standard in automobile manufacturing today is optimum lean production.  This is a business model under which a high (but not necessarily perfect) level of quality is sought while high-efficiency goals are set that save time, money, manpower and floor space.  Optimum lean production applies to the complete manufacturing cycle, from concept design, development and engineering to assembly and shipping.

Computer-aided design (CAD), computerized testing and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) have been big factors in efficiency gains.  As a result, the number of months necessary to fully design and launch a new model has been drastically cut.  More recently, 3D printing (also known as additive manufacturing) has enabled designers and engineers to output prototype samples of their designs instantly, in the studio.
