In a bid for an organization to remain relevant to its core customers, delivering the perceived value as determined by the customers becomes the necessity and the rule rather than an exception. In many manufacturing industries lean thinking has become the tools of choice (Womack and Jones, 2003). According to Hut (2009), lean thinking started with Toyota on their production line in Japan. The essence of the lean philosophy is captured in five concepts: 1) Specify value in the eyes of the customer, 2) Identify the value stream and eliminate waste, 3) Make value flow at the pull of the customer, 4) Involve and empower employees, and 5) Continuously improve in the pursuit of perfection. The ultimate goal of lean is to eliminate waste. Waste is defined as anything which adds cost without adding any value and is categorized as: Muda (work which absorbs resource but adds no value), Muri (unreasonable work that is imposed on workers and machines), Mura (work coming in dribs and drabs with sudden periods of rush rather than a constant or regular flow, unevenness).
