A chapter in Lean Innovation, 2011, pp 3-9 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract ‘Lean’ means thin and well-trimmed. Working with lean means working systematically to eliminate all non-value-adding processes in order to achieve your goals with the least possible effort. Unnecessary work, or waste, is used in this connection as an umbrella term for anything that does not create customer value. In the search for waste, you need to look for anything that ‘can’t be invoiced’. Waste is what the customer won’t pay for. Eliminating waste is also a good idea from the point of view of the employee: No one likes to produce something that isn’t used.
