Use Lean Methodology to Redesign Process
Lean methodology is about continuously improving work processes, purposes, and people.It has actually derived from the Toyota Production System, established around 70 years ago.
In the late 1940s, when Toyota put the foundations of Lean manufacturing, they aimed to reduce processes that don’t bring value to the end product. By doing so, they succeeded in achieving significant improvements in productivity, efficiency, cycle time, and cost-efficiency.
Lean thinking has spread across many industries and evolved to 5 basic Lean management principles.
Benefits of Lean Management
The growing popularity of the Lean principles comes from the fact that they actually focus on improving every aspect of a work process and involve all levels of a company’s hierarchy.
There are a few major advantages that managers can benefit from.

-
Improving productivity & efficiency. When employees are focused on delivering value, they will be more productive and efficient because they won’t be distracted by unclear tasks.
-
Smarter process (pull system). By establishing a pull system, you will able to deliver work only if there is actual demand. This leads to the next one.
-
Better use of resources. When your production is based on actual demand, you will be able to use only as many resources as needed.
As a result, your company (team) will be much more flexible and able to respond to consumers' requirements much faster. In the end, Lean management principles will let you create a stable production system (Lean system) with a higher chance of improving overall performance.
