الموضوع: الخطوات الاساسية لـ LEAN

The five-step thought process for guiding the implementation of lean techniques is easy to remember, but not always easy to achieve:

• Specify value from the standpoint of the end customer by product family.
• Identify all the steps in the value stream for each product family, eliminating whenever possible those steps that do not create value.
• Make the value-creating steps occur in tight sequence so the product will flow smoothly toward the customer.
• As flow is introduced, let customers pull value from the next upstream activity.
• As value is specified, value streams are identified, wasted steps are removed, and flow and pull are introduced, begin the process again and continue it until a state of perfection is reached in which perfect value is created with no waste.
