Kaizen is the major tool in becoming lean - a term used to describe a business system that achieves more, with less resource, by the continuous and relentless elimination of activities that do not add value to the service or product. Lean applies to any enterprise and follows the pursuit of perfection, thus is a never-ending activity.
Lean is defined as
· specifying what creates value from the customer's perspective
· identifying all the steps across the entire value stream
· making those actions which create value flow
· using pull systems to do or make only what the customer requires, when required
