  5. Why Lean Retail? Lean is all about identifying and eliminating waste • Waste is seen differently in Lean: • One of the stumbling blocks to Lean is understanding the concept of waste • Traditionally waste has been viewed as an object. It is very easy to envision a barrel of scrap and identify it as waste • In Lean thinking the term waste actually refers not to the physical material but rather the relationship of the resource to the end customer In Lean, waste is measured in consumption of resources – time and capital Guidon Performance Solutions 2009
