What is the LEAN methodology?

In short, LEAN methodology is a way of optimising the people, resources, effort, and energy of an organisation in order to create overall value for the end user, client or customer.

When we think of optimising what we do, it is easy to fall into the trap of simply looking to eliminate waste. Waste in time, waste in resource and waste in energy focussed on the wrong tasks. Although this is a fundamental part of it, the LEAN methodology is based on two facets, continuous improvement and respect for people.

It is more about creating value (understanding our customers needs and wants and removing what they don’t require) than it is about the elimination of waste.

In order to do this the following must apply;
– A methodical approach
– A learning mindset
– The ability to test ideas

This methodology is more of a path toward innovation than it is a form of risk mitigation.
