What is Lean?
In today's fast paced world, speed and agility of process is a critical factor that enables quick delivery to customers.  Lean is a business approach based on the fundamental goal of eliminating waste and maximizing flow.

A Lean Organization is one that fully understands, communicates, implements, and sustains lean concepts seamlessly throughout all operational and functional areas.

The lean process is one in which all members of a company are involved. Each has their own roles and responsibilities.

The 5 Principles of Lean Define Value From the customer perspective Value Stream Mapping Mapping information flow and product /service transformation Continuous Flow Internally having everything ready as needed for a symphony of service or production Pull Production Provide only when needed Strive for Perfection Never give uo the chase of perfection

Why Do Companies Need Lean?
Lean as a methodology helps companies –

• Understand the “Value Stream” of their products/ services
• Identify and eliminate unnecessary activities and processes that slow delivery of product or service.
• Increase production and process speed
• Reduce costs by focusing more on the business aspects of their business that matter the most.

Combining Lean with Six Sigma can be especially powerful. Six Sigma focuses on defect reduction whereas Lean focuses on speed of delivery.  Used together, these two methodologies help companies improve their processes critical to customer satisfaction.
