Lean services

Just like how you clean up your toys and put them back in their place so your room looks neat and organized, companies try to organize their work to be efficient and effective. This is called "lean services."

Let's imagine there's a store that sells toys - just like where you sometimes go with your mom or dad. In this store, they try to use "lean services" to organize their work and keep everything running smoothly.

One way they do this is by making sure that the toys that people want to buy are always in stock and easy to find. This is like how you put your favorite toys in a special spot where you know you can find them easily.

The store also makes sure that the toys are arranged in a way that makes it easy for customers to see them and pick out what they want - just like how you might arrange your toys in a certain way to make it easier for you to play with them.

Another way the store uses "lean services" is by reducing waste. This means they try not to use more materials or energy than they need to, and they try to make sure that nothing goes to waste. This is like how you might try not to use too much paper when you draw or color, and you always try to use all the colors in your crayon box.

So, in summary, "lean services" is like trying to keep your toy room neat and organized, making sure you can find what you want easily, and using only what you need without wasting anything. It helps companies work better and save time and money while also making customers happy by providing them with what they want efficiently.
