6. The Five Principles Specify value from the standpoint of the end customer by product family. Identify all the steps in the value stream for each product family, eliminating every step and every action and every practice that does not create value. Make the remaining value-creating steps occur in a tight and integrated sequence so the product will flow smoothly toward the customer. As flow is introduced, let customers pull value from the next upstream activity. As these steps lead to greater transparency, enabling managers and teams to eliminate further waste, pursue perfection through continuous improvement. http://www.lean.org/WhatsLean/Principles.cfm#specify
