01Lean customer value, value streams and pull
Lean thinking begins with the customer’s actual need and the outcome the service supports. A customer’s willingness to spend money or resources can help understand value, but a mandatory safety, legal or organizational control may still be necessary even if it does not directly transform the deliverable.
383 words, about 2 min02Structured improvement, root causes and learning
Describe the observed problem, affected process, customer impact, baseline and intended improvement without embedding an untested cause in the statement. A solution selected before understanding the condition can optimize the wrong thing.
368 words, about 2 min03Quality measures, variation and improvement-team roles
