• Description: This is a professional network, which I founded and developed the model,that brings together professional from all disciplines and fields for the teaching and implementation of Social Lean to help solve social issues in new and status-quo challenging ways and solutions. Social Lean is a lean model that I created using the values, concepts and tools of TPS/Lean to solve long-standing social problems, such as: poverty; education; ecological issues; food distribution and growing; transportation; and improving standards of living throughout the world, including developed countries. This begins with the concept of identifying the root cause of the problems and using value-stream models show the current process of solving these problems to the new, Social Lean@ model. Eliminating wastes; going to the "gemba" (local level); respect for people; effective problem identification and solutions; leadership and challenging the status quo using a free enterprise model and individual efforts versus big government or large administrative organizations, result in more effective, cost-effective solutions.
