Babasile Daniel Oladele-Emmanuel

From my little understanding, they are both relative and different. The reason is based on the dictionary meaning of each word: tools, techniques, methodologies, and practices:

Practice is defined as the actual application or use of an idea, belief, or method, as opposed to theories relating to it.

Tools are defined as device used to carry out a particular function

Techniques: are skilful or efficient way of doing something

Methodologies: are system of methods used in a particular area of study or activity.

From these definitions, there is an interdependence between these concepts. So one could argue the interchangeability. Hope this helps.

Dear Sir,

From my understanding,

EX: 5S is one of the lean tool (device) ; 5s considering put it into action (lean technique) ; Implementing (lean practice) ; Results yielding on 5S implementation (lean method).

Dear Dr. Vadivel S M ,

Rai Waqas Azfar Khan

There are

differences as well as similarities among these at a same time

Dr. Arvind Jayant

They almost all are similar in nature and applications.

Ernest Schmitz

From what I gather these terms are used randomly , for me it was also difficult to distinct between or rather see that they are similar

Dear Dr. Rai Waqas Azfar Khan,

Thanks for expert inputs. Thanks also to spare your precious time for valuable answer.
