      LEAN

      Lean, value, and waste

      ––––––––

      Lean is now a common term, synonymous with process improvement, waste elimination and cost reduction.

      You probably might have heard about Lean, or might have some basic idea about Lean, or might be even working on and practicing Lean methodologies

      Before we start, let us understand what the term Lean really means.

      Formally defined, "Lean is a continuous improvement strategy, focused on maximizing customer value, by minimizing waste in all the business processes, or products."

      So, now the question arises, what do the terms Value and Waste mean.

      "Value, means something, that the customer is willing to pay for, extending this definition, we can say it is something which the customer needs, and hence expects, from the product or service, for which he buys it.".

      And, by "Waste we mean, any activity or feature that does not add value to the product or service, from the point of view of the customer."

      The Japanese term for Waste so defined, is Muda.

      Some of the examples of Waste or Muda are,

      • Unnecessary travel like driving, or riding.

      • Waiting for approval.

      • Unnecessary Movement like bending, or stretching.

      • Producing more than required.

      Though Lean is primarily focused on reduction of waste, the Lean strategies framework is much broader.

      To understand the Lean framework, it is a must to be well acquainted with something that is known as the House of Lean.
