| The Lean Enterprise Resource CenterSM was created by MoreSteam.com as a central information source to support the development of Lean Enterprises. The Lean Enterprise is defined as an organization that creates customer value while minimizing all forms of waste. Forms of waste include: wasted capital (inventory), wasted material (scrap), wasted time (cycle time), wasted human effort (inefficiency, rework), wasted energy (energy inefficiency), and wasted environmental resources (pollution). The Lean Enterprise targets waste throughout the supply chain and throughout the product life cycle. The Lean Enterprise Resource CenterSM offers tutorials in the fundamental Lean Practices, On-line courses through MoreSteam.com UniversitySM , and useful links to other on-line resources. |
