    Lean Management Website Series

    As farm managers strive to utilize labor and other inputs more efficiently, Lean Management offers a framework to design production processes that minimize waste and disruptions without sacrificing safety or quality. Over time, managers who adopt Lean systems can shift the entire culture of their organization to enhance employee engagement and productivity. This website offers an overview of Lean Management for an agricultural audience and provides guidance to implement Lean principles and practices within your own farming operation.
