Additional information

LEAN is the belief that waste exists in all processes and the aim of any LEAN project is to support a business to eliminate that waste and only have steps that add value to your clients. Put simply, LEAN is about taking what you do for your business and finding ways to do it Quicker, Cheaper, Better, and Together as a team. 

LEAN is about more than cash savings to many business owners though. For many it is about building a stable, secure, and sustainable business that is agile enough to face economic challenges. For many it is about liberating themselves from Non-Value adding activities through questioning and re-designing their processes, allowing them to focus on business growth and Value-Adding activities. For many, LEAN has given them the ability to get home on time, work less at the weekends, while still getting the work done. All of these businesses achieved these outcomes by focusing on the elimination of waste from their processes, creating standards, implementing visual management, applying 6S-Workplace organisation to their workplace, and by accepting that what has taken us this far in the business, may not take us where we want to go.
