Lean & TPS

TPS stands for the Toyota Production System. In fact, this is the predecessor of Lean working. In the first block of the cyan part of the LSD series you can read a nice introduction to Lean. We therefore limit ourselves to a summary on this web page.

Lean is about flow. To ‘stop starting, start finishing’. Read all about flow and  fun exercises to experience flow with your team .

People-oriented
Lean is basically a philosophy in which people are central. Lean is about optimization based on agility and autonomy. Where does Lean come from?

The term Lean is part of the name of our mindset:  Lean  Story Design. We take the meaning a lot broader than simply the Lean production method and zoom in on  Lean pillars  resilience and autonomy. The first three blocks of the cyan part of the LSD series are about resilience, the last three blocks about autonomy.
