During the 1980s, the set of practices summarized in the ten rules of lean production were adopted by many manufacturing plants in the U.S. and Europe. The management style was tried out with varying degrees of success by service organizations, logistics organizations and supply chains. Since the demise of many dot.coms, there has been a renewed interest in the principles of lean production, particularly since the philosophy encourages the reduction of inventory. Dell Computers and Boeing Aircraft have embraced the philosophy of lean production with great success.

　　1. Eliminate waste
