Lean Manufacturing
The book applies lean manufacturing's focus on eliminating waste and optimizing flow beyond physical products, extending the same principles, adapted, to non-physical outcomes such as software, media and services.
Discussing manufacturing within the Outcomes Component's Frontier Dimension, extended to non-physical outcomes such as software, media, service pipelines, and policy implementation, the book states: 'The principles of Lean Manufacturing, which focus on eliminating waste and optimizing flow, remain relevant even in these non-physical contexts, albeit adapted' (Ch16 §159).
