Lean Principles – Work Defined
What does it mean to do more with less?
Work = VA Time + BVA Time + NVA Time
o Many improvement efforts focus on improving the value added time, working harder.
o A better approach may be to address the NVA time first, working more efficiently not harder.

Lean Principles – Lean Thinking
• Most Organizations will start by learning the Tools of Lean – 5S, VSM, A3,…etc.
• From the tools we can then start to define and create a Management System to sustain our Lean efforts and improvements.
• Most important though is understanding that Lean is a way of thinking. We must change our thinking as we learn Lean.

Existing 5S Process
• Search for what we need
• Scramble because I can’t find it
• Steal from someone else since they probably took it from us anyways.
• Scrounge to get what we need from other areas so I can get to work
• Stash what I could not find so I won’t have to do this again

Lean Principles – Little’s Law
Little’s Law:“The average number of customers in a system over
some interval is equal to their average arrival rate, multiplied by their average time in the system.”
– John D. C. Little, 1961

Lean Principles – Little’s Law
•Lead Time = Work in Process/Throughput
(LT = WIP/TP)• LT = 100 passengers / 5 passengers/min
• LT = 20 minutes
