What is Lean Management?

[benchmarksixsigma]

Lean Management is a business system for organizing and managing
development,
operations, suppliers, and customer relations. Business and other
organizations
use lean principles, practices, and tools to create precise customer
value -
goods and services with higher quality and fewer defects - with less
human
effort, less space, less capital, and less time than the traditional
approaches.
One of the primary focuses of lean management is to eliminate waste;
that is,
anything that does not add value to the final product gets eliminated.
A second
major focus is to empower people at lowest level, and make operational
decisions
at the lowest level possible.

Lean Management is about looking at the whole picture of all the
processes that
are required to deliver a product or service. It is about evaluating
each step
and ensuring that the step is Valuable, Capable, Available, Flexible
and
Adequate. Lean applies to non manufacturing settings just as strongly
as it
applies to manufacturing. Many of the most exciting breakthroughs are
taking
place in services as diverse as software development, banking, health,
bpo and
government.
