i got no idea what the proper definition for lean thinker is; but it sounds like all the examples are ways to streamline the efficiancy of a firm...

anonymous · Answer

lean thinking can also be thought of "as efficient as possible", or "eliminating everything that is not an absolute necessity". If operations are classified only as main processes, then financial reporting falls out of this category. If under operations is meant all the main and supporting processes of a company, then all the examples above are about lean thinking.
