To that end, we have saved millions of hours of clients\u2019 time and skills from wasteful activities, while creating more value for their customers. We are proud to reach this 10-year milestone in our own journey, and we wholeheartedly look forward to the next decade of lean business progress in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Four Principles\u2019 core objective is a commitment to reducing lead time; managing the supply chain, improving quality, cutting costs and enhancing employee motivation, all for the benefit the customer. The company\u2019s strategy focuses on putting into practice long-term, sustainable efficiencies that increase profitability at the same time as improving value for the clients\u2019 customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four Principles\u2019 early focus included projects across FMCG, heavy industries, medical equipment and printing and packaging sectors. Prior to reaching its fifth anniversary, Four Principles had expanded its operations to include financial services, retail, automotive, facility management, government and petrochemicals. By its tenth anniversary, this list had grown to include real estate, healthcare and engineering and design, hospitality and logistics and transportation, construction, and telecommunications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key milestone in Four Principles\u2019 10-year history is the establishment of a joint venture with Abdul Latif Jameel in 2017 to spread the lean philosophy across the MENAT region and help more businesses leverage the multitude of opportunities it can deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally developed by Toyota to transform the efficiency of its production system, Kaizen principles, which lie at the heart of Lean management, aim to reduce waste, improve quality, and accelerate lead times. Ultimately, the methodology can improve business-wide efficiency and deliver a corporate culture capable of delivering a smooth and adaptable workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four Principles will shortly be releasing more details on a dedicated training academy, based in Riyadh, for Saudi Arabian public and private sectors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3434,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-3432","pressrelease","type-pressrelease","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Four Principles celebrates 10th anniversary and helps achieve US$ 2 billion in savings - Abdul Latif Jameel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Four Principles celebrates 10th anniversary and helps achieve US$ 2 billion in savings - Abdul Latif Jameel\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Four Principles, an Abdul Latif Jameel company, today celebrated its 10th anniversary since it started operations in Saudi Arabia in 2010.
