Abstract: Abstract The flow principle emerged during mass production. Mass production is not able to realize high customer variance without high inventories. Lean enables customer individualization with low inventories. The term lean comes from an American study that analyzed Japanese automobile production in more detail. The methods of lean production are combined in the Toyota Production System. The Toyota Production System was born out of necessity and combines the idea of quality production (jidoka) with that of ideal delivery (just-in-time). Production systems are present in many companies today with different symbolism and follow a clear vision.
