The Lean Poster highlights the Lean Management Framework (a.k.a. the "House of TPS"), the concept of Value-added Activities and Non-value-added Activities (waste), the Eight Types of Waste, the Five Lean Principles and the generic PDCA Approach to Waste Elimination.
The Lean Poster comes in two themes: color and blue. Formatted in PDF, the poster can be easily printed on an A3-sized paper.
