There are many examples of how lean philosophy has contributed to improving the competitive position of manufacturing companies such as Toyota, Ford, Kimberley-Clark Corporation, and Nike, among others. In service areas such as hospitals and laboratories, the benefit of operating under a lean system has also been seen. However, we continually hear that the lean system is not for everyone. Consider a virtual company like Netflix and argue about the following: Could the lean system really apply to mostly virtual companies? Explain the reasons for your position. When replying to the forum you should: Explain what lean philosophy consists of. Explain the fundamental objectives of a lean operating system. Explain the concept of the pull system in contrast to a push system. Take a position in the debate on whether or not the application of lean philosophy is feasible in an environment like Netflix and justify your answer.
