Lean Manufacturing & Unit Costs
Edexcel A-Level Business
Lean manufacturing is a core operations management concept in Edexcel A-Level Business Theme 2, requiring students to understand how eliminating waste reduces unit costs and improves efficiency. This interactive tool covers the seven types of waste (muda), Just-in-Time (JIT) production, kaizen continuous improvement, and Total Quality Management (TQM). Work through real case studies from Cadbury and Toyota, use the waste-identification scenarios, and practise the three-part evaluation chains that examiners reward in 12 and 20-mark responses.
