This book provides a conceptual description of the PDCA cycle and the tools that support it. A brief literature review is given for each tool, indicating the timeline according to Scopus, the main areas in which they are applied, the main authors and the journals that most publish on these topics. It reports three industrial applications, one focusing on cost reduction, the second on optimizing a manufacturing company's raw material receiving process, and the third one on eliminating waste and increasing performance. Lean Manufacturing (LM) is a production philosophy that integrates tools focused on eliminating waste. Traditionally, LM is represented by a house that integrates basic tools and pillars that support the flow of materials, quality assurance, manufacturing systems, and human resources. The basic LM tools are focused on the standardization of the production system, among which are the visual factory, 5S, Kaizen, total productive maintenance and six sigma, to mention just a few. The pillar associated with production flow are tools such as SMED, Kanban, push systems, and just-in-time, among others; the pillar associated with quality assurance is made up of tools such as poka-yoke, quality at the source, value stream mapping, total quality management, among others, while the tools associated with manufacturing systems are made up of Layout, batch production, cellular manufacturing, multifunctional work areas, among others.
