Most business readers have heard of the Lean principles
developed for factories a set of tools and ideas that have enabled
companies to dramatically boost quality by reducing waste and
errors producing more while using less. Yet until now, few have
recognized how relevant these powerful ideas are to individuals and
their daily work. Every person at a desk, drafting table,
workstation, or operating table must (like a factory) deal with the
challenge of reducing the waste that creeps into their work. The
same Lean principles that have improved efficiencies on the factory
floor can be just as powerful in fact, far more so in helping
individuals boost personal performance.
