Many industries are applying lean principles to their businesses, including manufacturing, healthcare, government, commercial office buildings and more. However, many overlook a critical area of application: cleaning and the often-overlooked, ongoing act of cleaning a facility holistically. Focusing on production and work area efficiency is indeed critical, but applying Lean to the actual activity known as "cleaning" is another opportunity to benefit from Lean Principles.

This FastCast offers examples of companies that once overlooked the specific act of cleaning but after applying Lean Cleaning experienced improved morale, efficiency, compliance, and safety.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Recognize current applications of Lean Principles across industries
  2. Identify how the specific act of cleaning is overlooked
  3. Analyze examples of Lean Cleaning actions
