With help from the Lean Thinking Community, we made the new revised third Edition of the Lean Lexicon even more valuable and useful. Starting with improvement ideas from Community members just like you, the authors researched and added 21 definitions to the latest edition of this popular and indispensable reference book.
The expanded Third Edition, featuring 58 illustrations, defines 187 key lean terms from A3 Report to Yokoten. The new definitions do include lean consumption and lean provision, the groundbreaking ideas on using lean principles to build a new producer-consumer relationship model described in Lean Solutions by James Womack and Daniel Jones. True to the Lexicon’s description as a “graphical glossary,” we included consumption and provision maps. Here’s the complete list of new terms:
* Genchi Genbutsu (idiomatic expression)
