Abstract
... "To eliminate muda, Ohno introduced the Toyota Production System (TPS) that inspired Lean, seeking to create or specify value, and value-creating actions, to achieve customer satisfaction (Rahman, Gonzalez & Amor, 2013; Singh & Kumar, 2019)
Following TPS, Womack and Jones (1996) defined value as the first principle of Lean thinking and specified that all the activities in a process should focus on eliminating non-value adding steps and making value-added activities flow smoother to achieve customers’ requirements.
The word “lean” is being used to reflect the Japanese business approach in employing “less” human resources, less money/capital, less materials, etc. in all aspects of business operations"
