Learning Lean can be a challenge. There are countless Lean terms you have to understand. Plus hundreds of other terms from business, management, manufacturing, psychology, human resources–practically everywhere–have a continuous improvement spin to them. Figuring Lean out can be a challenge. But not anymore.

Our list of Lean terms contain comprehensive descriptions and is constantly growing. This project started out destined to be a book, but changed course to become this online directory of Lean terms.

Keep in mind that this is a work in progress. If you need a term now, let us know at NewTerm@Velaction.com. We should be able to get something to you fairly soon. We have over 750 terms in draft form from when it was going to be a book.
