Lean approach
The Lean approach is a management philosophy focused on maximizing value while minimizing waste. Originating from manufacturing, it aims to streamline processes by identifying and eliminating activities that do not add value, thus improving efficiency and productivity. Key principles include understanding customer needs, continuous improvement, and empowering employees to identify issues. In broader contexts, Lean can be applied to various fields, such as healthcare or software development, to enhance performance and deliver better outcomes by fostering a culture of constant refinement and adaptability.
