Lean (a.k.a. 'Lean production' or 'Toyota Production System') optimizes processes by relentlessly eliminating waste to maximize customer value.

Lean, often called 'Lean production' or the 'Toyota Production System,' is a methodology focused on maximizing customer value while minimizing waste. It identifies and systematically removes non-value-adding activities (the 'seven wastes': overproduction, waiting, transport, over-processing, inventory, motion, and defects) across any process. Pioneered by Toyota in the mid-20th century, Lean principles enable organizations to deliver higher quality, faster, and at a lower cost, driving continuous improvement and efficiency gains.
