Lean IT Processes

A post on the Agile Business Coach Blog states 9 Lean IT processes that can be learned from manufacturing.

These are:

1. Single piece flow
2. Standard parts to reduce complexity of process
3. No batches
4. No redundant processes
5. Pull
6. No inventory
7. Do not pre-assemble parts
8. Fix failures immediately
9. Focus on the goal

Everything Lean

The Lean Executive is a nice site to be updated on some Lean Thinking. It has a great glossary of Lean-related terminologies, too!
