As this process ends up demanding a lot from the companies, there are cases in which there may be some kind of loss that causes significant losses for the productive progress or even for the financial profit of the industries, and to try to avoid this scenario it is necessary to carry out an analysis and implement strategies like the one presented by the Lean Manufacturing concept.
