This Lean\/TOC approach facilitates a growth strategy by providing customer value, such as faster turnaround times, that the competition cannot match. Lean\/TOC creates the capacity for this growth by eliminating waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis practical guide shows how Lean\/TOC also provides the improvement strategy for dealing with the variation that distinguishes MRO from high-volume, repetitive manufacturing.
