🏪 I just wanted to buy a kitchen hood. 10 minutes max. I spent 40.
As a Lean consultant, I couldn't leave without documenting it — 7 types of waste, 6 unnecessary floor trips, and a Value Ratio of just 20%. In a retail store. Not a factory.

This is exactly why Lean is not a manufacturing tool. It belongs in every service, clinic, store, or business where a customer is waiting for something they've already decided they want.

In this article, I map the full experience against the 5 Lean Principles and the 7 Wastes — minute by minute, floor by floor.

The fix isn't expensive. It just requires designing processes from the customer's perspective — not pushing your internal system onto them.
👉 Read, reflect, and share with anyone running a service business.

What happens when Lean thinking meets a real patient journey in a Lebanese hospital?

Last week, I accompanied a relative for a cardiac catheterisation at a university hospital. As a Lean practitioner, I couldn’t help but observe every step through the lens of value vs. waste — a process efficient in ex*****on, yet dominated by waiting, uncertainty, and missed opportunities for patient value.
This 5-minutes read article is not theory.

It’s a practical, on-the-ground perspective on how Lean principles reveal hidden waste in healthcare — and how simple changes can significantly improve the patient experience.

If you’re a Lean practitioner or a healthcare provider in Lebanon, this might challenge how you define value.

N.B: The article tackles only the LEAN basics which are much needed in this hospital in my perspective.
