Why call it “LEAN” ?

VALUE enablers

Definition of Lean
Lean has been defined in many different ways –
“A systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste (non-value-added activities)
through continuous improvement by flowing the product at the pull of the customer in
pursuit of perfection.”
Definition by the MEP Lean Network
Give the customers what they want, when they want it, and do not waste anything.

Toyota Way – the 14 Principles by Jeffrey K. Liker
1. Base management decisions on long-term philosophy, even at expense of short-term
financial goals.
2. Create continuous process flow to bring problems to surface.
3. Use pull systems to avoid overproduction.
4. Level out workload (heijunka); work like a tortoise, not a hare.
5. Build culture of stopping to fix problems, to get quality right first time.
6. Standardized tasks are the foundation for continuous improvement and employee
empowerment.
7. Use visual controls so no problems are hidden.
8. Use only reliable, thoroughly tested technology that serves people and processes.

Why the emphasis on Lean now?
• Global economy
• Pressure from customers for price reduction
• Fast-paced technological changes (e.g. Internet auctions)
• Continued focus on quality, cost, delivery
• Higher and higher expectations of customers
• Quality standards, such as QS-9000 (or TS 16949), the new ISO
9000:2000
• Holding on to “Core Competencies,” outsourcing the rest
• Market-driven pricing: Customers expect better performance at
lower prices year after year
