This brief animation offers a guide to the five fundamental equations that help lean practitioners understand—and execute— a lean transformation.
这个简洁的图片提供了五个基本要素，帮助精益实践者理解并实践精益转型。
At the Lean Enterprise Institute, we think a lot about change. We think a lot about enterprise transformation.
在精益企业研究院，我们非常重视变革，也非常关注企业转型。
Every day all day, each of us aspires to create desired change.
That’s what work is all about.
我们每天都致力于创造所期望的变革，这正是工作的核心所在。
Enterprise transformation, then, is change on the enterprise level.
企业转型就是在企业层面上的变革。
We’ve learned a lot over the years. But, most critically, we have learned that effective enterprise transformation requires change—innovative improvement—on five dimensions.
多年来，我们学到了很多东西。但最重要的是，我们了解到成功的企业转型需要在五个维度上实现变革——即创新性的改善。
That is a bold assertion: not four, not six, but five dimensions. And lean thinking has a point of view about each of those five dimensions.
这是一个大胆的主张：不是四个，也不是六个，而是五个维度。精益思想对这五个维度中的每一个都有其独特的见解。
We’ll not delve deeply into what those points of view are right now.
我们暂时不会深入探讨这些观点的具体内容。
Instead, we will explore the essential matter of how to think about enterprise change through the illustration of a house.
相反，我们将通过一个房屋的图示来探索如何思考企业变革这一核心问题。
The metaphor of a house has been around lean thinking for a long time, so we’ll use that for convenience.
精益屋的比喻在精益思想中已经存在了很长时间，因此我们将沿用这一比喻以便理解。
Determining Your Value-Driven Purpose
确定您的价值驱动目标
Let’s start with the roof to explore it. Any good house has to have a roof to protect us from the rain, sleet, and maybe excessive sunshine—if there could be such a thing.
让我们从上面图片中的屋顶开始探讨。任何好的房子都必须有一个屋顶，以保护我们免受雨、雪，甚至是过度阳光的侵害——如果真的存在这样的情况的话。
At the top of this hou se, we have our objectives—our goals, our aspirations. In other words, we’re going to ask: What is our value-driven purpose—why are we here—as a company, as an enterprise?
在这座房子的顶部，我们设定了目标——愿景和抱负。换句话说，我们要问的是：什么是我们的价值驱动目标——作为一个公司、一个企业，我们为何存在？
It may be we would think we’re here just to generate money. That would take us down a certain path, in which case I may care less about creating customer value
and may care just about profit.
也许你会认为只是为了赚钱而存在。这将引导我们走向某条特定的道路，在这种情况下，我可能不会太在意创造客户价值，而只关注利润。
Lean thinking drives us to think about what value we create for customers, society, and employees. So, what is our value-driven purpose?
精益思想引导我们思考：我们为客户、社会和员工创造了什么价值？那么，什么是我们的价值驱动目标？
Since it (lean thinking) starts with a question like that, our approach to effective transformation should be situational.
精益思想始于这样的问题，实现有效转型的方法应该是在具体的情况下进行的。
It’s a situational approach determined by first asking the question: What is our value-driven purpose?
这种方法首先通过问这样一个问题来决定：我们的价值驱动目标是什么？
More specifically, each individual in your organization needs to be able to ask and answer the question: What problem am I here to solve? What problems are we
each trying to solve?
更具体地说，组织中的每个人都能够提出并回答这样的问题：我在这里要解决什么问题？我们每个人都在尝试解决哪些问题？

Identifying the Work to be Done and Processes to Improve
识别需要完成的工作和需要改进的流程
The next question to ask is What is the work to be done? What is the work?
接下来的问题是：要完成的工作是什么？工作内容是什么？
Any house has to have walls, or pillars, to hold up the roof. This first pillar represents the work to be done. We call it Process: What is the process, or the work, by
which we will accomplish our purpose?
任何房屋都需要有墙或柱子来支撑屋顶。这第一根柱子代表着要完成的工作。我们称之为“流程”：为了实现我们的目标，流程是什么？工作内容是什么？
If our purpose is to create videos, we have to know how to get a video camera, then set it up so that we have the proper lights and can get the work done.
如果我们的目标是制作视频，那么我们必须知道如何获取摄像机，然后将其设置好，以便有适当的光线来完成工作。
Then, as we gain experience, we will doubtless find that there are problems in the work process—that the work needs to be improved. So, we need some means by which we go about process improvement.
随着经验的积累，我们无疑会发现作业流程中存在问题——工作需要改善。因此，我们需要一些方法來改善流程。
Improving the work to done—always starting with the work. What is the work to be done?
改善要完成的作业——始终从作业开始。要完成的作业是什么？
So now that I’ve identified the work that’s going to solve the problem to deliver the value we’re here to provide, that’s the first pillar to hold up the roof.
现在，我已经确定了能够解决问题并为客户提供有价值的工作，这就是支撑屋顶的第一根柱子。
