6. The Five Steps Of Lean Implementation
Step 1.Specify Value
Step 2.Map
Step 3.Flow
Step 4.Pull
Step 5:Perfection

7. Step 1: Specify Value
Define value from the perspective of the final customer.
Express value in terms of a specific product, which meets
the customer's needs at a specific price and at a specific
time.

8. Step 2: Map
Identify the value stream, the set of all specific actions required
to bring a specific product through the three critical management
tasks of any business:
The problem-solving task, the information management task,
and the physical transformation task.
Create a map of the Current State and the Future State of the
value stream. Identify and categorize waste in the Current State,
and eliminate it!

9. Step 3 : Flow
Make the remaining steps in the value stream flow.
Eliminate functional barriers and develop a product-focussed
organization that dramatically improves lead-time.

10. Step 4:Pull
Let the customer pull products as needed, eliminating the need
for a sales forecast.

11. Step 5:Perfection
There is no end to the process of reducing effort, time, space, cost,
and mistakes.
Return to the first step and begin the next lean transformation,
offering a product which is ever more nearly what the customer wants.
