Customer focus: The organization's primary focus should be on meeting the needs of its customers.
Respect for people: Employees should be treated with dignity and respect, and their contributions should be valued.
Flow: The organization should strive to create a smooth and efficient flow of work.
Pull: The organization should produce only what is needed, when it is needed.
Perfection: The organization should continually strive to improve its processes and products.

Processes: The organization's processes must be designed to make it easy for employees to do the right thing.
