Implementation and development of lean production technologies provides a number of advantages, such as: reduction of production losses, reduction of production costs, increasing productivity while reducing labor costs, improving product quality, increasing yield. The basic lean tools are discussed. The field of application and the place in the chain of measures to improve the processes and products of the company were defined. Key issues - constrained factors of the transition to the concept of lean manufacturing were identified. Research confirmed the importance of the sequence of steps in the lean implementation, the starting point for this is the request of the consumer market to the technical specifications and consumer products.
