This is not necessarily Lean |
• Only about cutting overhead
• Only 5S – this is a tool that Lean organizations utilize
• Only for manufacturing
• Simply setting up assembly lines or work cells
• Uncomfortable work conditions to save money
Lean IS:
• A philosophy that considers value for the customer as the most important aspect of the business
• Removal of waste in all its forms from business processes
• A culture of collective continuous improvement
• Constantly building a work environment (the physical and psychological aspects) that promotes efficiency
• A belief that the actions of every single member of an organization makes a difference; cooperation is vital
• Respect for people
