ForewordThe global financial crisis, the UK budget deficit, the Comprehensive SpendingReview, reductions in the Agency’s capital spending budget and an increasingdemand for travel.The above list reflects the environment we find ourselves in and the challenges weface. In order to overcome these challenges, whilst continuing to deliver a highquality of service to road users, we will have to deliver more for less.This is where lean comes in. The core principals of lean are the delivery of value -a recent report on behalf of HM Treasury has highlighted that the costs ofinfrastructure works in the UK are high in comparison with the rest of Europe - andthe elimination of waste - one of the guiding principles of the Compulsory SpendingReview was the elimination of waste.Within the Highways Agency we have begun to embrace Lean philosophy andpractices to enhance our intelligence as a client and reduce waste.In embracing Lean philosophy we are concentrating on our physical network asset,through maintenance, renewal and improvement activities. However, we believethe same Lean principles can and should be applied to the management anddelivery of our asset, increasing effectiveness and reducing waste to play asignificant role in making a positive contribution to the overall goal.We will further develop our role as an intelligent client and will expect andchallenge our suppliers to make Lean efficiencies against which quantitativebenefits can be realised. The Agency will also be looking for our suppliers todemonstrate their Lean capabilities. This demonstration, along with our StrategicAlignment Review Toolkit (StART), will form part of our supplier selection process.iAny printed copy of this document is considered uncontrolled.
