LEAN ZQUARED LEAN

1 OnePieceFlow

Setting up your daily processes so that each step connects to the previous one can save time and energy. Begin making efforts to avoid any form of backtracking, and focus on a continual workflow without interruptions. Step 1 should seamlessly lead to step 2, which flows into step 3, and so on.

2 FixWhatBugsYou

A critical component of the Lean mentality is addressing the little things that irritate you and potentially slow you down. For example, at home, where do yoou keep your favorite coffee mug? Is it conveniently stowed in the cabinet by the coffee pot, or do you have to walk to the other side of the kitchen to find your cup? Fix what bugs you!

3 EliminateWaste

Are you spending your time, energy, or money on things that boil down to a waste of time in the long run? Are there things you can outsource, reconfigure, or eliminate altogether to improve efficiency?

Look for ways to "cut the fat" and eliminate the tasks and items that are wasting your resources
