This is why we need plans, reports, KPIs and actions

Lean is about….Defining a strategy based on your customers needs

Translating this strategy towards day-to-day actions that add value for your customer

Controlling the added value of those actions

While you keep on Continuously Improving your way of working to increase the added value and to cut the waste

Take your customer needs into account in everything you do

Translate your strategy in concrete actions

Define the targets for these actions

Define who is responsible for those actions

Visualise your issues and define actions to solve them

Go and look yourself for issues and define actions to solve them

Take a step back to solve issues in team!

Lean is about installing simple behaviors to increase your

value to your customer !
