Eliminate Waste
Category: Lean Principles
Principle Intent
Continuously identify and remove activities that consume resources without adding customer value. Waste slows delivery, obscures real problems, and diverts energy from what matters.
How to Apply This Principle
This principle is part of the Entrowise Principles Library and is used in the PPA Method to diagnose recurring delivery problems and develop principle-aligned actions. When this principle is violated, delivery teams often experience recurring symptoms that resist solution because the root cause—the violated principle—is never addressed directly.
