Lean Principles:
• Identify steps in the process that add customer defined value
• Identify waste in transportation, wait, overproduction, defect, inventory, motion, or extra processing
• Eliminate the steps in the process that don’t add value or are unnecessary
• Make sure the steps flow in an efficient sequence
• Establish pull, i.e., make sure the steps in the sequence don’t create bottlenecks
• Continue to improve the process

“Discovery” Focus As An Impetus For Organizational Learning, Jennifer L. Fabbi
Library Faculty Publications
The University of Nevada Las Vegas Libraries' focus on the concept of discovery and the tools and processes that enable our users to find information began with an organizational review of the Libraries' Technical Services Division. This article outlines the phases of this review and subsequent planning and organizational commitment to discovery. Using the theoretical lens of organizational learning, it highlights how the emerging focus on discovery has provided an impetus for genuine learning and change.
