What is Lean

Lean is a philosophy and methodology for maximizing value and minimizing waste in production processes. It was originally developed by Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan in the 1950s and has since been adopted by many organizations around the world in various industries. The goal of Lean is to create more value for customers with fewer resources, which is achieved by eliminating non-value-added activities and streamlining processes. This is achieved by focusing on identifying and eliminating waste, improving process flow, creating a culture of continuous improvement and empowering employees to make improvements. By applying Lean principles, organizations can increase efficiency, reduce costs, improve quality, and increase customer satisfaction. Lean can be applied in a variety of environments, including manufacturing, healthcare, service industries, and government.
