The document discusses an MLS introduction, which is a specialized application for manufacturing firms based on lean manufacturing concepts. The objective of MLS is to reduce operational and inventory costs by administering the entire production cycle and controlling inventory. It is designed for growing companies whose products are manufactured through a sequence of operations. MLS provides a visual way to manage production that eliminates issues like excessive paperwork, long MRP runs, high in-process inventories, and constant production re-planning. It can be used by small to large companies in various industrial sectors that produce goods through sequential operations.
