The 5 fundamental pillars of the Lean Methodology
Posted: Mon Jan 06, 2025 5:55 am
Summarizing the practical application of these aspects in a series of more general principles, which each company can define differently, we can indicate:
Defining the best customer experience:
Most customers are looking for a solution, not a product or service.
Identify the value chain:
Eliminate the steps in the chain that do not add value, generating the VSM, "Value stream mapping", through which a mapping of the current value chain is carried out, as well as the future one.
Create flow:
Making the entire process flow without interruptions. From raw materials to the final consumer.
Producing the customer “pull”:
Production based on customer orders rather than long-term sales forecasts.
Pursue continuous improvement:
Seeking efficiency through small changes that occur continuously.

The importance of people
The human dimension of Lean Manufacturing is based on the premise that workers are the most important part of companies. They are the ones who are in contact with the work environment and, therefore, are the first to observe the problems that need to be solved.
The introduction of the Lean methodology implies a relational change between the hierarchy and its people, where listening, employee participation, and concern for their well-being, health and safety are promoted more.
