Lean Thinking
The term ”Lean Thinking” is the overall name for the Lean philosophy.
Focus on value to customers
Lean is about delivering the value requested by the customers using the fewest possible resources.
Therefore Lean leads to a focus on "value to customers" in all internal and external processes in a company.
When the value has been defined the organization should strive to eliminate/minimize waste in all processes of the value stream.
The 5 basic principles in Lean Thinking
- Define the value demanded by the customers.
- Define the value stream that creates the value.
- Create flow in the value stream.
- Create pull (based on orders).
- Continuous improvements.
Results when working the Lean way
- A Lean company will gain significant results, both financially, competitively and in the working environment.
- Because Lean is a permanent change, the results are visible every year.
- At the same time the continuous search for improvement ensures that the company never rests on its laurels.
