A business to function, and further to prosper, needs to follow well established and tested rules and regulations. These rules are modelled on some successful processes. Japan, for instance, had lost almost everything in the Second World that came to an end in 1945.However, it came back to normalcy with great thanks to the ‘muda’ (a process started by Toyota to eliminate waste processes).  Today, we have, as a result, techniques like the Lean and Six Sigma helping the businesses achieve the desired results – a situation like “All Profit No Loss”.
