Lean is a type of organizational change brought about through
improvement methods based on cost reduction mechanism. The
assumption is that by reducing costs, the organizations can work
better and more efficiently. All changes in lean-based
organizations are directed at reducing these costs by identifying
and eliminating waste. The thinking is that cost reduction will
increase efficiency since, basically, it removes process
inefficiencies and decreases cycle time. Why are targets directed
at cost reduction? Because costs are a crucial factor for
sustainable business organization. Lean thinking cuts the value of
scale production by looking at the existing waste in a process.
Production remains the same, but the costs of goods production are
reduced due to the elimination of waste in the process. As a
result, companies do not have to increase their production if it is
not required, giving companies an increase in average profits due
to lean and the elimination of identified waste. The focus on cost
reduction can be included in the overall lean concept since cost
wasting is only a part of the existing waste. In other words, other
waste can be converted into costs or perceived as a value. This
book starts the mental process of organization change through lean
thinking. It provides the background and history of lean, and then
gets into how the lean process works. The author also discusses why
an organization should implement lean as a method to increase
quality and engage workers in the process, thereby increasing
efficiency and, ultimately, profitability. Through case studies and
examples from Indonesia, the author describes how to create a value
stream to identify waste and discusses the concept of a pull system
and its impact on the process.
