Key Takeaways

• Lean becomes visible in daily work through habits, layouts, and routines that reduce waste and prevent interruptions.
• Standardized steps, checklists, and shared formats reduce variation and limit ambiguity in routine tasks.
• Physical layout and point-of-use storage minimize searching, waiting, and unnecessary movement.
• Visual systems expose problems early and enable faster handoffs and quicker corrective action.
• Continuous small improvements by frontline teams make operations more stable, predictable, and resilient over time.
