Lean Principles
VALUE

VALUE STREAM

Identify how value is to be added to the service or product

FLOW

Design a process that results in uninterupted material flow from raw material to delivery of the finished product.

PULL

Design manufacturing for 'pull' of product through the processes, rather than 'push' of raw materials through the process.

PERFECTION

Doing different things, not the same things differently!
