   • Continuous improvement, sometimes called continual improvement, is the ongoing improvement of products, services or processes through incremental and breakthrough improvements. These efforts can seek “incremental” improvement over time or “breakthrough” improvement all at once.

2. Waste

   • Waste is the translated Japanese word called muda. While developing the Toyota Production System, Taiichi Ohno identified a list of wastes that would impede the efficient use of resources within an organization

3. Value

   • In terms of Lean, the value should always be considered from a customer perspective. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter whether you came up with a great idea if the customer doesn’t see any value and therefore she is not ready to pay for it.
     • Customer perspective
       • This perspective considers external customers' point of view, of organizations, which are a crucial factor for creating financial success, revenue from buying products and services.

4. Plan countermeasurements

   • A counter plan is used in counter based maintenance. This type of maintenance planning is not based on a maintenance strategy. This means that you can create a multiple counter plan without maintenance strategy.

5. Focus and commitment of the team

   • People in management positions show no apparent concern for the development of relationships between the management level and the members of the organization, through which the manager may have some positive influence on their behavior

6. Standarization

   • Standardization or standardisation is the process of implementing and developing technical standards based on the consensus of different parties that include firms, users, interest groups, standards organizations and governments. Standardization can help maximize compatibility, interoperability, safety, repeatability, or quality.

7. Control

   • A standard control chart uses control limits at three standard deviations of the mean (?mean) (pronounce as sigma mean) from the data’s grand average (X-double bar, or average of the sample averages or ? [pronounced as myoo]).
