Hola Au,

He estado fuera unos días y acabo de ver tu nota y quería aclararte que el término \"producción/manufactura esbelta\" se utiliza en México, con lo cual es un regionalismo pero igualmente me parecía importante incluirlo. Gracias y saludos,
Laura

  -> sí, sin duda también se puede decir "producción", en vez de "fabricación" o "manufactura". Gracias, lupita.
agree  Refugio: ajustada (esbelta doesnt give the idea very well)
3 hrs
  -> Gracias, Ruth.
agree  Cristóbal del Río Faura: La “producción ajustada” o Lean, como concepto, consiste en hacer los negocios más productivos y competitivos. El método Lean implica la eliminación sistemática de toda actividad que no añada ningún valor.

  -> Exactamente. Gracias Cristobal.
