Make No Mistake

Don’t let anyone steer you wrong. Lean is the #1 improvement program in the world.

The only real competition for popularity comes from inaction or weak attempts which rely upon naive trial and error.

In terms of comprehensive programs, the runner up methodology is Six Sigma. It is a great program, but far less popular.

Lean can be defined as the systematic elimination of waste.

The first key word is systematic – we are not interested in a chaotic scramble.

The second key word is waste – we are not going for a cost cutting frenzy.
