To-Increase Reveals Five Trends Driving Lean Manufacturing Strategies

New blog post discusses trends ranging from budget reductions to green supply chain management.

Norwell, MA, October 31, 2011 --(PR.com)-- To-Increase, a provider of Microsoft Dynamics solutions for Industrial Equipment Manufacturers (IEM), reveals trends driving lean manufacturing in a new blog post. Readers of this post are asked to add to a list of trends driving lean manufacturing, which includes budget reductions and environmental regulations.

Lean manufacturing has grown to mean far more than simply reducing costs. Today's lean manufacturing landscape can be defined by words ranging from "efficiency" to "green" - and between these two words is a scope too wide to attribute to budgetary issues alone.

"There is no sugar-coating the suffering that our economy has gone through as of late," writes post author Luciano Cunha, Global Industry Director, To-Increase. "But the lean movement is driven by a far larger set of trending factors."

Among the trends cited by Cunha that are driving lean manufacturing:
· Need for greater visibility into projects and processes
· Process improvements, as companies adapt to fewer available resources
· Green supply chain management, driven in equal part by social responsibility and environmental regulations

"I cite only five of several trends that underlie the lean movement," concludes Cunha. "I invite readers to share the trends they see as most driving contributing to lean manufacturing by commenting on my post."
