      What is Lean?

      Lean is a continuous process improvement mindset that creates business value by eliminating waste. Originally developed for manufacturing environments, today it is used increasingly across the whole enterprise, including operations and finance.

      Most processes generate waste and inefficiencies (typically up to 95%). By identifying and removing ‘wasteful’ activities such as wait time or effort spent on fixing errors, your employees can spend more time on running the business.
