Lean Manufacturing is a part of the Lean Thinking. Lean Thinking is a way to improve your business with the complete satisfaction of customers and your own employees.
Other approaches normally base the main pillar on the cost cut. Normally, focusing only on the costs brings to poor products, unsatisfied customers and unmotivated workers.
