Curated Content: Generating Value
In the design and construction industry, waste is a constant hurdle that impacts project timelines, budgets, and overall customer satisfaction. By reducing waste, we unlock more value—an essential goal of Lean thinking.
But how do you generate value? It starts with understanding your customer and what they define as valuable. The “customer” could be anyone you are providing information, services, or products to. Once you understand the specific value they seek, you can work toward delivering it in the most efficient way possible.
Learn more about how Lean principles can help you generate value and reduce waste!
