한국어Lean management
Concept
A management approach derived from the Toyota Production System that creates more value for customers with fewer resources by removing waste, improving flow and involving the people who do the work in continuous improvement.
Description
Lean management comes from the Toyota Production System. Its starting point is value: what the customer is willing to pay for. Everything else in a process is waste or necessary support, and lean tries to shrink it by improving flow, pulling work through the process only when it is needed and fixing problems at their source.
Lean is not only a toolbox. It also describes how leaders work: they go to the place where the work happens, support teams in solving problems and build a habit of small, steady improvement. Typical methods are value stream mapping, standard work, 5S, kanban and kaizen. Lean originated in manufacturing, but the ideas are used in logistics, healthcare, offices and software as well.
