Four Paths to Lean Office Productivity:
Can the Just-In-Time Concept Work for You?
Ever since Toyota invented lean manufacturing, much has been made of its application to all professions, including “desk” jobs. The lean philosophy boils down to this: cut anything in the work process that fails to add value to the end-user. The end-user may be a consumer, one’s supervisor, or the group in the organizational structure to which you deliver your final
product.
A central tenet of lean is “Just In Time” or “JIT” production. Rather than guess your user’s future needs, you provide goods and services “just in time” as they’re needed. So instead of making 100 sandwiches every morning in your deli, and risk wasting product if nobody buys them all, you make sandwiches only as people order them. It works
very well for Subway.
