Lean

The idea

Lean examines the flow of work to identify what adds value and what does not, using tools such as value stream maps and direct observation of the work where it happens.

In practice

A process walked through step by step to find the waiting and rework in it.

Where people slip

Lean looks at the whole flow. Optimising one step can lengthen the process it belongs to.
