Lean Philosophy

  The  Lean Philosophy module begins the Lean Concepts lean training program.   It gives a quick lean overview and covers basic information on good  lean principles and lean thinking. It is a requisite for first time lean  practitioners or anyone interested in learning more about lean in  general. Each subsequent module will build upon the concepts,  terminology, and skills discussed in the Lean Philosophy Module sections  below. The ultimate value of this lean overview is learning new ways to  think about the world, your organization, and your daily activities  from an efficiency focused perspective. The goal of this module is to  equip practitioners with a basic understanding of good lean thinking.  The proper thinking way is necessary to begin a lean journey and  critical to developing and applying the technical concepts covered in  the remaining modules.

Putting Philosophy Into Action

The second section in the Lean Philosophy Module builds off the concepts discussed in Section 01. Section 02 is primarily focused on putting the general lean concepts from Section 01 into  action within an organization. While still very broad in scope, this  section begins to drill down into the details of defining true  efficiency, understanding efficient performance, and the value of  competency.
