- Lean is a management philosophy focused on **maximising value** for the customer while **minimising waste**.
- It originated from the **Toyota Production System** in manufacturing.
- The core goal is to **do more with less** (time, effort, resources, cost).
- Lean identifies and eliminates **non-value-adding activities** (waste).
- Common waste types include overproduction, waiting, defects, and excess motion.
- It emphasises **continuous improvement** (*kaizen*).
- Decision-making is driven by **customer value** and real-world process data.
- Lean promotes **efficient flow**, standardised work, and empowered teams.
