Lean management: tools and techniques and how to implement them

Abstract

The economic system, technology and globalization dictate new conditions and rules on the market. The traditional management model will not provide maximum profit and will not allow companies to adapt to current trends. Tools, techniques and methods developed over the past few decades and their correct use can be used to manage business more efficiently. Lean management focuses on optimizing existing processes, preventing new problems and skilful use of human resources. Therefore, it is of great importance in an extremely competitive modern world. A bibliographic study on various lean management practices and methods of their implementation has been presented. The conclusions of the bibliography analysis indicate that soft skills, efficient management and IT technologies can be the next stage in the development of the concept of lean management
