The Lean concept is a business strategy and should be practiced throughout the whole organization. It is practiced in widely different businesses such as manufacturing industry, healthcare and the service sector.

The results are speaking for themselves. As from the first step, which may only cover a small part, and every step there after.
To fully exploit the competitive advantages of the Lean concept, all parts (both main and supporting processes) of the organization need to be included, as well as suppliers and customers from raw material to end user (Total value chain).

Lean Value Chain

After the initial steps are taken by an organization in the implementation of the Lean philosophy into its own internal processes, it usually starts becoming apparent that there is an outside world, which is not quite aligned to your own activities. This is the time to address the outside world, suppliers and customers, and see how they can become part of the value chain approach and how they can be aligned in the same way the internal processes are aligned.
