So true that you can implement Lean manufacturing principles in any company no matter what the industry. I have worked across many industries in management roles and consultancy roles and can honestly say that if more companies tried to implement Lean there would be far fewer companies failing and less work being outsourced overseas. Just a reminder of what Lean manufacturing principles are as described by womack and jones when they introduced lean to the west with their book "The machine that changed the world."

Thanks Tony for stopping by and leave your comment. I got into Lean 2 years ago and it's amazing how you can implement Lean in your life and make it easier!

See my video about my Journey with quality where I talk a little bit how I use lean on my day to day routine: http://onquality.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-quality-journey.html

Love your blog.. I'll start writing about basic Lean concepts and for sure I'll link to your blog!

Lean or Six Sigma, as it is also commonly referred to, is a management strategy that allows businesses to enhance the performance and quality of the processing units that are used to manufacture many products.
