The core principle of implementing lean manufacturing is to continually improve processes by reducing all manners of waste. By applying these strategies, course participants will realize sustained value through the cost savings of organizational efficiency. The types of waste include processes, activities, products or services that require time, money or skills but do not create value for the customer. These can cover underused talent, excess inventories, or ineffective or wasteful processes and procedures. Removing these inefficiencies should streamline services, reduce costs and ultimately provide savings for a specific product or service through the supply chain to the customer.
