WHAT IS WASTE?
Waste is defined as any activity that does not add value from the customer’s
perspective. According to research conducted by the Lean Enterprise Research
Centre (LERC), fully 60% of production activities in a typical manufacturing operation
are waste – they add no value at all for the customer.
The good news is that just about every company has a tremendous opportunity to
improve by eliminating waste, using lean manufacturing techniques and other
manufacturing best practices.
With that in mind, we have designed each lean production topic on this site to be self
contained and to stand on its own. If you want to learn about a topic, simply forge
ahead and read about it. We have worked to make it particularly easy to explore the
topics that are of most interest to your situation.

EASY
Our goal is to create learning materials that are easy to understand and easy to
implement. We believe that even complex topics can be made easier and more
accessible.
PRACTICAL
We are realistic about what is within the reach of most teams to accomplish – and
the resource limitations that we all face. We want to help you achieve quick
progress.
FLEXIBLE
We are not dogmatic about lean. We respect tradition and we honor heritage – but
not at the expense of progress. We believe that lean should be living and
not at the expense of progress. We believe that lean should be living and
adaptable.
PEOPLEFOCUSED
We emphasize the critical role of people (like you) in creating sustainable longterm
change. It’s one of the underappreciated and leastpracticed aspects of lean.
