In our modern system of globalization where components are manufactured in many different parts of the world and transported to be assembled in a geographically remote location the opportunities for unnecessary transportation are endless. To minimize transportation waste we need to carefully analyze the origin of constituent parts and to identify opportunities for re-sourcing more local to final assembly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inventory<\/strong> &#8211; unnecessary inventory may as well be bags of cash. The operation needs to be streamlined to create a continuous flow minimizing inventory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Motion<\/strong> &#8211; Any motion which is not adding value is Muda (waste) &#8211; for example if an operator has to repeatedly bend down to pick up a component this is unnecessary waste. The workstation should be designed to minimize unnecessary motion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Waiting<\/strong> &#8211; time wasted whilst waiting for components, instructions, tools, indeed anything which is needed to maintain continuous flow is waste. If your organization is a service provider bear this in mind when designing systems to interface with customers. We all know the frustration of time wasted in a phone queue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overproduction<\/strong> &#8211; any production over and above the exact quantity the customer ordered is waste. The manufactured quantity should be <em>pulled<\/em> by the customer order.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Over-processing<\/strong> &#8211; the over embellishment or addition of none functional packaging is waste to be avoided and eliminated. What does the customer really want ?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Defects<\/strong> &#8211; all are waste and should be eliminated by the judicious use of 6 &#8211; sigma tools and Kaizen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are many other kinds of waste, which ones have you observed in your organization ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"maito:chris@projectsguru.co.uk\">chris@projectsguru.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.projectsguru.co.uk\">www.projectsguru.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/projectsguru\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/twitter-badges.s3.amazonaws.com\/follow_bird_us-a.png\" alt=\"Follow projectsguru on Twitter\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/uk.linkedin.com\/in\/chrisrob9999\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/img\/webpromo\/btn_viewmy_120x33.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"View Chris Robinson's profile on LinkedIn\" width=\"120\" height=\"33\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.projectsguru.co.uk\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-428\" title=\"PGBANNERSTATIC\" src=\"http:\/\/www.amberhill.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/PGBANNERSTATIC1-300x82.jpg\" alt=\"PGBANNERSTATIC\" width=\"300\" height=\"82\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amberhill.biz\/blog\/home\/amberhibiz\/public_html\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/PGBANNERSTATIC1-300x82.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amberhill.biz\/blog\/home\/amberhibiz\/public_html\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/PGBANNERSTATIC1.JPG 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar addthis_pub = '';\nvar addthis_language = 'en';var addthis_options = 'email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, reddit, live, more';\n<\/script>\n<div class=\"addthis_container\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/bookmark.php?v=20\" onmouseover=\"return addthis_open(this, '', 'https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amberhill.biz%2Fblog%2F%3Fp%3D444', '7+deadly+wastes%26%238230%3B%26%238230%3B.+%23lean+%236sigma+%23pmot+%23in')\" onmouseout=\"addthis_close()\" onclick=\"return addthis_sendto()\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/static\/btn\/lg-share-en.gif\" width=\"125\" height=\"16\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Bookmark and Share\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/200\/addthis_widget.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Button END -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toyota&#8217;s Taichi Ohno identified seven main sources of waste to be minimized in a Lean production system:- Transportation &#8211; the unnecessary movement of parts or materials.
