Abstract
This document takes a critical look at the first lean principle, Value. The meaning of value
is investigated first in a general context, in the context of Lean Thinking, and finally in the
context of other product development and business literature. This investigation found the
value principle to be pertinent in the product development context and a specific definition
of value was developed which facilitates an understanding of customer value in the product
development arena, and assists in creating a customer focus in the lean transition process.
Although Lean Thinking is customer value focused, the existence of other value
perspectives is investigated. The linkage between these value perspectives is also discussed
and the need to understand these linkages during the lean transition is established. Finally,
specific high level attributes of customer value in the product development setting are
established.
