Lean Thinking

Lean is an improvement approach to improve flow and eliminate waste that was developed by Toyota but now used by all sorts of organisations. Lean thinking is basically about getting the right things to the right place, at the right time, in the right quantities, while minimising waste and being flexible and open to change.

Lean brings into many industries, both public and private sector, new concepts, tools and methods that have been effectively utilised to improve process flow.
