The Industrial Revolution in the world of manufacturing started during the early 1800s and took a different course in the early 1900s when
Henry Ford built the first mass-produced automobile. Henry’s Ford principles of “scientific” management and assembly-line production that dominated the automobile industry for much of the 20th century are still prevalent in manufacturing business. The way auto factories-built cars on assembly lines, tested them at the end and fixed what didn’t work, software programmers spend months working on software code, test it at the end and then rework it again, sometimes even after the product has been released. In the 1950s Toyota introduced lean manufacturing into its factories which led to increased and earlier testing, improved efficiency and lowered costs. This paper discusses applicability of lean principles in software development. Lean IT is not only a set of tools and practices, it is a cultural transformation that educates everyone in the organization to think about the role of quality information in the creation and delivery of value to the customer.
