Fundamental Principles of Lean Office

The role of a lean office is to eliminate waste or any non-valued components in a process. All processes within a company will have some element of waste unless it goes through multiple lean cases. Effective use of lean can create huge improvements in efficiency, productivity, cycle time, scrap, and material costs.

We follow the five basic principles for all Lean Office Case Studies at TXM. These are:

  • Value: value should relate to a customer’s needs
  • Value stream: Map all the steps and processes required to deliver the final product to the customer
  • Flow: Ensure remaining steps are smooth after removing waste
  • Pull: Improved flow will improve time to market
  • Perfection: This is the essential step to optimizing the entire process

Lean is infectious, and it will enhance customer relationships to increase your success.
