Improving your business

is our business

 

  

 

Lean is about doing more with less. Lean aims to create precise customer value by delivering quality goods and services with less resources, time, human effort, space and capital. Lean achieves this objective by focusing on what creates value for the customer and eliminating activities that do not create value. The 5 key Lean principles are as follows:

 

The 5 Key Lean Principles

 

Value - Specify value from the standpoint of the customer
Value stream - Identify all the steps in the value stream, and eliminate any step that does not create value
Flow - Make the remaining value-creating steps occur in a tight and integrated sequence so the product or service will flow smoothly toward the customer.
Pull - As flow is introduced, let customers pull value from the next upstream activity.
Pursue perfection - As these steps lead to greater transparency, enabling further elimination of waste, pursue perfection through continuous improvement.

(Reference: Lean Thinking, James Womack and Daniel Jones, 1996)
