ABSTRACT

What Is Lean? Countless books have been written on Lean, creating many frameworks and definitions, some of which are shown in Table 2.1. It is difficult to have a single succinct, yet comprehensive, definition, but we can learn something from each definition. Lean is both a tool set and a management system, a method for continuous improvement and employee engagement, an approach that allows us to solve the problems that are important to us as leaders and as an organization.
