Description

Toyota developed the concept to help with their production operation and improve processes to cut the time it takes from receiving an order to delivering it.

You deliver what the customer needs when they need it.

Lean Process Improvement can apply to production environments but also extend to other environments such as healthcare, software development, service, and government.

The ideal with Lean is to meet customer expectations by creating a near perfect process. The process minimizes waste, uses as few resources as possible, and encourages continuous improvement.

Lean is not just a way to reduce costs. Instead, it is a way of thinking. It is not a short term solution. It is the way a group operates. It is actually a long term approach that requires discipline.

Here are some techniques to help with the Lean vision:

Pick a specific process or problem to improve

Put together a team that understands and works on the related process not just managers

Make communication a top priority
