What is Lean?
Lean Management means “Creation of Value without Waste”.
The goal of Lean is to streamline all activities necessary for the creation of value and eliminate everything else. A strong orientation towards the customers, their expectations and requirements of the product regarding price, availability, and quality, has to be balanced with the internal perspective of the enterprise, it's processes and systems.
When implemented, Lean Management helps to develop and maintain state-of-the-art processes throughout the enterprise. They are characterized by crisp, clear definitions of functions and interfaces, executing responsibilities efficiently with as little waste as possible, while continuously producing high quality products with high value for both, the enterprise and the customer.
