Chemo therapy results in reduced immunity to infections and due to this I spent most part of last 4 months confined to my room. This gave me a life time opportunity to be with myself. Sharing thoughts....
Simply Lean
Lean means 'waste reduction'. Waste is defined as something which does not add value. We can practice lean in our daily life, in our thinking, in our habits, making it a way of life.
We are consuming the fuel of our future generations and leaving them a legacy of depleted ozone layer. Two third of earth is water, still usable water has become scarce. People are becoming obese due to accumulation of exceess fat. If we look around with this awareness, we begin to observe things filled with waste, things we don't need, things we don't use. It begins to pain us when we see precious resources being wasted.
Waste clogs, it impedes the flow. First step is to define the values. Remember, whatecver does not add value is 'waste'. Second step is to identify all activities or things which do not add value and eliminate them one by one. As we progress in this journey, we can feel the flow getting improved, life starts rotating faster, it becomes more exciting and meaningful, we are no longer stranded in trafiic jam. This brings about greater transparency and path of continuous improvement becomes clearer on its own.
There is a need to become lean. The solution to our problems lies in following lean.
