Lean Laboratory - Give your lab the edge

The Guiding Principles of Lean

Here Tom talks about the Guiding Principles of Lean:

  1. Specify Value
  2. Identify the Value Stream
  3. Make Value Flow
  4. Create Pull
  5. Eliminate Waste

People often concentrate on number 5 – Eliminate Waste and forget to do 1-4. Tom stresses that you need to get your underlying process moving first and perfect it and then eliminate waste, and not the other way round.
