Lean is a management philosophy and set of principles focused on maximizing customer value while minimizing waste and inefficiencies.

Originating from the Toyota Production System in the manufacturing sector, Lean has been widely adopted across various industries, including healthcare, software development, and services.

The core idea is to create more value for customers using fewer resources by eliminating non-value-adding activities and continuously improving processes for efficiency and quality.

Key principles of Lean include identifying customer value, mapping the value stream, ensuring smooth workflow, allowing customer demand to drive production, and striving for perfection by continuously eliminating waste.

Lean emphasizes continuous improvement, employee involvement, and a culture of problem-solving and innovation.
