Contrary to the many down the line employees who might put Lean Transformation as nothing but a fancy term used by the Top Management, infact, it is a way of organised, flexible and multi-dimentional oppertunity creation for Focused Value addition to the products and services provided by the organisation.

To put it in simple words Remove the Non Value Adding Elements to the Process i.e.: -

Delivering the True Value for what the customer is willingly paying for!

The book "Lean Thinking" by Womack and Jones, introduced five core concepts, namely

• Specify value in the eyes of the customer
• Identify the value stream and eliminate waste
• Make value flow at the pull of the customer
• Involve and empower employees
• Continuously improve in the pursuit of perfection

In my further postings I will try to describe how a Lean Transformation Diagnosis is done for an Organisation.
