The Zerwaste Lean Management methodology

The Zerwaste Lean Management method is a management strategy focused on continuous improvement, customer value creation, identification and elimination of waste.  Lean Management or Lean Thinking is also a corporate philosophy based on the commitment and involvement of the entire organisation to optimise quality and efficiency. It is therefore a people-centred approach with the objective of optimising administrative and business processes, but also human well-being.  

Lean Management Objectives

There are 4 key stakes in Lean:

  1. Eliminate waste, streamline operations and prevent malfunctions
  2. Improve a process for the benefit of all stakeholders (customer, worker, owner)
  3. Analyse and control demand variability
  4. Remove tool and employee overload

Deployment of Lean Management

There are several ways of dealing with a project, depending on the type and complexity of the problem being addressed. And each project is deployed differently over time depending on these two variables:

Lean Management tools

Every challenge has a solution. And we use the right Lean Management tools to address it.

  • Value Stream Mapping (VSM): the concept of value is at the heart of the Lean approach. It involves distinguishing between operations that add value and those that do not, and then eliminating waste.
  • 5S: one of the most widely used tool due to its simple application and its visible and concrete results. This motivates employees to adhere to it.
  • Process capability: cycle time and Takt time
  • Process Cycle Efficiency and Overall Process Efficiency
  • Lean Capacity Management (random variability and queuing)
  • Visual Management: visually indicating key indicators to show status at any time and the need for adjustment.
  • Just in-Time (JIT): is a workflow methodology aimed at reducing throughput times in production systems and response times from suppliers and customers
