Principles of Lean Office

Principles of Lean Office

Too often, organizations ignore the waste and delays built into non-manufacturing processes. Administrative inefficiencies can be more difficult to see than those in the manufacturing process and bottlenecks are not as obvious as they are on the shop floor. Organizations produce greater value with higher quality in less time when Lean strategies are applied to the office environment.

In the beginning, Lean tools and concepts were only applied on the factory floor. Today, organizations of all sizes are applying the power of Lean to their office and administrative process because front end inefficiencies and errors directly impact a customer’s experience.
