Eliminate any step or action that does not create value, thereby leaving only value-adding steps. 3.       Make the remaining value-adding steps flow in a tight sequence to the customer, without delays or wait times. 4.       Pull or produce the product or service at the customer rate of demand only (rather than overproducing). 5.       Pursue perfection through continuous improvement.
