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.
