However, we think we've shown that most of the lean approach is perfectly applicable in an industry where flows are pushed.
We would also like to respond to some of the objections raised, either to not launching continuous progress approaches, or to postponing them... until much later. We recommend not indulging for months or years in the highly detailed and ambitious Plan phases of a PDCA.
