Lean

Any use of resources for a purpose that is not adding value for the end customer is waste and should be

removed

Waste

• Toyota identified the following forms of wasteful activities (Muda)• Overproduction • Unnecessary movement of (intermediate) products• Inventory• Unnecessary movement of production equipment• Defects• Waiting• Over-processing• Overload

Lean principes

Base your management decisions on a long-term philosophy, even at the

expense of short-term financial goals

Create a continuous process flow to bring problems to the surface

Use “pull” systems to avoid overproduction

Build a culture of stopping to fix problems, to get quality right the first

time

Use visual control so no problems are hidden

Grow leaders who thoroughly understand the work, live the

philosophy, and teach it to others

Go and see for yourself to thoroughly understand the situation (genchi

genbutsu)

Make decisions slowly by consensus, thoroughly considering all options;

implement decisions rapidly

Become a learning organization through relentless reflection (hansei) and continuous improvement (kaizen)
