Lean focuses on working on improving processes by eliminating steps that have no value to the customer (i.e., work which the customer is not willing to pay for), and by eliminating process waste (such as wait times, inventory, rework, overproduction, transportation, etc.). In health care, eliminating waiting times alone can add immediate, quantifiable value to the business. LEAN – How?
