What is New Lean?
Put simply, in traditional lean we apply the principle of just-in-time to materials.
But to make something, you need more than material; You need people and equipment. Because of the rigidity with which we approach labor and equipment, lean has not applied the just-in-time principle there. But with digital marketplaces and other innovations like the industrial internet of things, that's changing. "New lean" is about applying just-in-time to not just materials but labor and equipment as well.
