Lean Thinking is based on the Five Pillars of Lean manufacturing concept. These include the four Lean Management Principles and the powerful impacts that come with each one. Lean thinking is a continuous process improvement methodology that enables businesses to improve their operations and in turn, increase their profit. Lean concepts and tools have been successfully implemented in businesses ranging from supermarkets to hotels, from hospitals to military defense contractors.

In a recent survey, it was revealed that companies in the U.S spend approximately $3 billion annually on lean services and programs. Many employers believe that maize is a waste of time and money. However, those same employers are also aware that without the proper knowledge, implementing kaizen could actually lead to a downfall of their business. Therefore, with the aid of lean thinking training, businesses can gain the knowledge they need to successfully implement a kaizen throughout their organization. This will allow them to successfully leverage their resources in order to make the most out of every dollar.

A large part of lean thinking training is for the managers who will be implementing the program within their own company. They are expected to know what kaizen means, how it impacts their company's efficiency, and how to buy-in. Without buy-in, it is unlikely that any progress can be made towards improving business processes. If management does not believe that the corporation's leaders will get along well with the lean business processes, the implementation may simply be postponed until after the leader is convinced that he or she will get along well with the process.
