1. Enterprise Improvement LEAN Initiative Presentation

2. LEAN Academic Overview
What is Lean (Kaizen) from an Academic definition: ?
Lean is the process of designing systems to reduce costs by eliminating product and/or process waste. The emphasis is on eliminating non-value added activities by focusing on the following: what your customers wants, where is the added value, and does the output of the product and/or process meet customer expectations.
Lean is defined by the following five principles:
VALUE as specifically defined by the customer
Identification of the VALUE STREAM where value is created
Efficient and effective FLOW of value through the process
Letting customers PULL value from the producer
Continuous pursuit of PERFECTION
The goal of Lean implementations in the service/administration areas has been the same one for manufacturing implementations which is providing customers value in the product and/or service provided that meet their expectations.

3. LEAN Corporate Overview
What is Lean (Kaizen) from a typical corporate perspective: ?
Lean is a systematic approach for ensuring that our customers receive exactly what they want; when they want it; with the minimum amount of materials, equipment, labor and space being consumed. By doing this, an organization continuously improves its efficiency and effectiveness. Lean results in increased competitiveness, improved business results, and most importantly, better value for our customers. Lean focuses on eliminating activities that absorb resources and time without creating value.
