Completely eliminate unnecessary labor and waste to maximize economic benefits for the enterprise.

Strive for excellence, achieve perfection, and pursue relentlessly the ultimate goal of seven zeros.

① Start planning from the perspectives of top-down decomposition, prioritization, and targeted focus； ② Provide institutional safeguards from the perspective of performance evaluation and effective motivation ；

Lean production is both a production method whose main goals are to minimize the resources used in a company’s manufacturing processes and to reduce management and operational costs, as well as a philosophy and a culture. Implementing lean production is a journey of striving for perfection and a pursuit of excellence; it is a spiritual force that sustains the vitality of individuals and enterprises, as well as a state of self-satisfaction achieved through an endless process of learning. Its goal is to strive for excellence and perfection, pursuing endlessly the ultimate objective of achieving seven zeros.

The main objectives are to minimize the resources utilized in corporate production and reduce corporate management and operational costs

“\"Zero waste\" is the ultimate goal of lean production, and it is reflected in the seven aspects of PICQMDS. The specific goals are as follows: (1) Zero waste in production setup time (Products • mixed production of multiple varieties) – Reducing the time wasted on switching between different product types in the processing steps as well as on changing the production line to accommodate different products to \"zero\" or as close to \"zero\" as possible. (2) “Zero” inventory (Inventory • Reducing inventory): By integrating processing and assembly in a streamlined manner, intermediate inventory is eliminated; production shifts from being based on market forecasts to being carried out in sync with orders, thereby reducing product inventory to zero. (3) “Zero” waste (Cost • Total cost control): Eliminate waste from unnecessary manufacturing, handling, and waiting to achieve zero waste. (4) “Zero” defects (Quality • High quality): Defects should not be detected at inspection points; rather, they must be eliminated at the source of their occurrence, with the goal of achieving zero defects. (5) “Zero” failures (Maintenance • Increasing operational rate): Eliminate downtime caused by failures in mechanical equipment to achieve zero failures. (6) “Zero” downtime (Delivery • Rapid response, short lead times) – Minimizing lead time to the greatest extent possible. To this end, intermediate delays must be eliminated to achieve “zero” delay. (7) “Zero” disasters (Safety • Safety first)

Industrial enterprises are socio-economic organizations that operate for profit. Therefore, maximizing profits becomes the fundamental goal of a company. In today’s rapidly changing market, lean production adopts flexible production organization structures to adjust production promptly and quickly in response to changes in market demand. Through rigorous and meticulous management, and by \"thoroughly eliminating waste,\" it prevents overproduction in order to achieve the company’s profit goals. To achieve this fundamental goal, lean production must be able to effectively meet the following three sub-goals: zero inventory, high flexibility (for multiple products), and no defects.
