The term "Lean" was first used in the book The Machine That Changed the World by James Womack. A lean organization focuses on providing complete value or Value added activities to their customers. One of the ways that lean accomplishes this is through the complete and total elimination of any form of waste. What Happens When Organizations Eliminate Waste?
