Leading manufacturers of injection molding products have been perfecting their micro-molding processes for the past ten years. In keeping with the old motto "Less is best," a small number of manufacturers have recently implemented a lean manufacturing initiative-the concept of maximizing the flow of materials and minimizing inefficiencies-to help meet growing market demands, specifically in micro molding. With customers ranging from consumer products to electronics to automotive applications and medical devices, manufacturers, have found that lean manufacturing gives them the flexibility to respond to customers' requests.
