Value: Understanding value from the customer's perspective is fundamental. Identifying what customers truly value allows organizations to focus on delivering those specific values efficiently.

Value Stream: Analyzing and optimizing the value stream— the sequence of steps required to deliver a product or service—by eliminating waste and enhancing flow. This involves scrutinizing processes to enhance efficiency and quality.

Continuous Improvement (Kaizen): Embracing a culture of continuous improvement by empowering employees at all levels to identify and solve problems, foster innovation, and make incremental improvements regularly.

Just-In-Time (JIT): Implementing a just-in-time production system to minimize inventory and waste by ensuring that goods are produced or delivered precisely when needed, reducing excess stockpiles and associated costs.

Pull System: Operating on a pull-based system where production is initiated based on actual customer demand, rather than pushing products into the market, leading to reduced overproduction.

Respect for People: Recognizing and valuing the contribution of employees at all levels, encouraging their involvement in decision-making processes, and fostering a culture of mutual respect and continuous learning.

Standardization: Creating standardized processes, where applicable, to establish consistency and facilitate continuous improvement by having a baseline for measuring change and improvement.

Eliminating Waste (Muda): Identifying and eliminating waste in all its forms, including overproduction, waiting time, unnecessary transportation, excess inventory, motion, over-processing, and defects.

Value-Based Problem Solving: Encouraging a problem-solving mindset focused on identifying and addressing the root causes of issues rather than just treating symptoms.

Adaptation and Sustainability: Emphasizing adaptability and the ability to evolve by continuously learning and improving processes to remain competitive and sustainable in a dynamic environment.
