One particularly important part of any Commander's decision making strategy is to have the context and tools to make a cogent decision. Often this is initiated with the mission analysis process, but that does not always frame the problem within the appropriate paradigm for use in field operations. Understanding and visualizing the entire problem is part of the framing process. Essentially, framing takes an open-ended problem and explores it from all sides (qualitative and quantitative) and uses divergent points of view to organize the information into a cogent and meaningful manner.

Health Care: Lean Philosophy on Cost Reduction and Quality Improvement The essential elements of Lean Philosophy are 5 principles including: defining the value sought by the customer; specifying the value stream of the product satisfying that value while challenging wasted steps; making a continuous flow of product through refined steps; creating "pull" (essentially meaning "customer demand/expectation") from step-to-step for continuous flow wherever possible; continually improve and refine the process to cut the steps, time and information required in the production process. Based on these principles, proponents of Lean Philosophy established a Lean Action Plan consisting of initiation; reorganization; installation; and completion of transformation. This philosophy ideally creates a customer-oriented human system that defines value from a customer's perspective, reducing effort, cost, time and space while improving customer service. Companies using the Lean Philosophy often found that traditional accounting concepts were anti-lean. Consequently, a Lean Accounting method was developed, also stressing customer-oriented, value-centric processes. Defined by the Lean Accounting Summit in 2005, Lean Accounting has a vision dedicated to quality improvement and cost reduction. Accordingly, Lean Accounting employs the 5 principles of: lean and simple business accounting; accounting processes supporting lean transformation; clear and timely communication; planning from a Lean perspective; and strengthening internal accounting control.
