Hi
From the other discussion on Lean: https://elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?p=586466#post586466
I was wondering whether someone have an overview of the historic development of Lean, from way back to TPS and what was included, when was other concepts and pieces added to the Lean package. Were these concepts develop within the Lean area or did most of them exist before or independent of Lean? For instance JIT.
From an article back in 1988 (Krafcik) I understand that TPS goes back to the 1950s, but I would suspect that it has very little to do with what we call Lean today?
BTW Krafcik (1988) have some very nice Figures and tables with comparison of TPS and Fordism, but I don't think I should post them with respect for copyright etc..
