You are here

Lehigh Lean Thinking is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste. Through Lean, Lehigh will streamline our day-to-day work activities and processes by engaging the people who do the work and are affected by the processes. This form of process improvement encourages front-line problem identification and problem solving, as staff innovatively go about their work, in a hands-on way.

Lehigh Lean Thinking objectives are:

  • Identify our organization’s current state

  • Guide teams to envision a better future state

  • Help teams launch rapid process improvements

  • Encourage customer involvement along the way

  • Provide support systems that ensure success
