After you have studied Lean Manufacturing Theory
it could be useful to have a list of the tools
(and methods) you can use.
Can you fix a screw with an hammer?
In the same way it important to use
the proper Lean method (or tool)
to fix a particular source of waste.
If you have the list always on your desk,
you can easily chose the right Lean tool.
Here the list we suggest to Cut, Paste and Print.
