The industry is, of course, rife with waste. Whether it’s idle workers or
unused materials that cannot be recycled or repurposed, the results are
the same: a drag on productivity. This insistence on eliminating waste is
where the idea of lean as a management system developed
Lean is a methodology to reduce waste in a
manufacturing system without sacrificing
productivity. The customer defines what is
of value in terms of what they would pay for the
product or service. Through lean management,
what adds value becomes clear by removing or
reducing everything that doesn’t add value.

wasting money. Reducing the time it takes to start and finish a project is going to
create value by adding efficiencies. Learn and apply some time management

materials, and personnel on unnecessary activities. Overproduction also adds to
storage and warehousing costs. Understanding the triple constraint is the first
step to understanding cost management.

Strategy.
Sustainability or corporate responsibility strategy is a
prioritized set of actions. It provides an agreed framework to
focus investment and drive performance, as well as engage
