“Continuous improvement” and “respect for people” are the two main pillars of lean systems. Lean systems always aim to design better processes and search for improvement. The concept of “kaizen”, which means continuous improvement, has a very important place in lean systems. Lean philosophy also includes respect for people. It aims to benefit from human potential by including workers in decision processes and caring about their ideas in order to improve their work. Leaders of lean systems often spend their time advising and actively working with their workers to identify problems and to improve their systems by eliminating wastes.
