精益物流源自精益制造的核心理念,是20世纪70年代由日本丰田公司提出“即时制造(Just In Time)”之后,被美国麻省理工学院的教授Daniel T.Jones提炼总结,并在1992年出版的《改变世界的机器》一书中正式发表提出来。顾名思义,精益物流就是运用精益思想对生产制造企业的物流系统进行优化提升,消除生产制造过程中产生的不必要的浪费,节约生产成本,制造出更加令客户满意的完美产品。 Lean logistics from the core concept of lean manufacturing, the 1970s by Japan’s Toyota Corporation, “Just Manufacturing (Just In Time)”, by the United States MIT professor Daniel T. Jones summarized, and Published in 1992, “the world to change the machine,” a book published in the book. As the name implies, lean logistics is the use of lean thinking to optimize the logistics system of manufacturing enterprises to eliminate unnecessary waste generated in the manufacturing process, saving production costs and create a more perfect product to customer satisfaction.
