True lean is a
mindset. It is when the lean practices and tools become so deeply embedded in
how an organization works that they create a problem-solving culture where
problems are embraced, owned, analyzed, and fixed. When you boil lean down to
its basics, it really is about focusing on the customer with a maniacal pursuit
of elimination of waste and unrelenting prioritization.A lean mindset
that focuses on safety, quality, delivery, and cost (SQDC) gives us the tools
and instincts to make the right decisions and necessary trade-offs. It ensures
that the actions we’re taking today are rooted in long term sustainment and
improvement.Larry Culp, GE
