While Lean Thinking revolutionized manufacturing floors decades ago, its power to eliminate waste, boost efficiency, and drive continuous improvement is equally transformative in office environments. Whether you’re managing administrative tasks, coordinating projects, or handling customer service, Lean isn’t just for the shopfloor—it’s for your desk, your team, and your workflows.虽然精益思维在几十年前彻底改变了制造车间，但它消除浪费、提高效率和推动持续改进的力量在办公环境中同样具有变革性。无论您是管理行政任务、协调项目还是处理客户服务，精益都不仅仅适用于车间——它适用于您的办公桌、团队和工作流程。
