The document provides an overview of key Lean concepts and methods. It defines Lean as a business philosophy focused on reducing waste and increasing value. The core of Lean is eliminating non-value adding activities to improve efficiency. Key Lean techniques discussed include gemba walks, kaizen events, value stream mapping, A3 analysis, and 5S. Building a Lean culture requires continuous improvement and problem solving discipline.

Editor's Notes
- #8 Taichi visited the US to watch how our grocery stores worked.
- #27 When one of the early leaders of Lean in the US had a baby, the MIT team presented the parents with a t-shirt for the baby that read “Muda, Mura, Muri.”
- #31 Lean involves everyone in the CQI process.
- #41 Kaizen events run end-to-end in Lean enterprises, and everyone at all levels is required to participate actively. Go See, Ask Why, Show Respect
- #44 Go and see is sometimes called a tool. The real tool of Go and see is shoes.
- #45 Kaizen events can be contrasted with many short meetings over time.
- #54 It’s critical to name the issue – and owner and the “coach.” Actual A3s have mapped processes, and lots of information.
