Some wastes in regards to Lean Management principles would state the following:

 

A. Lean related criterion:

It may be standard (plan) is appropriate, if a high-level standard difficult to achieve always result in a negative deviation, that achievement is substandard.

 

 

B. Lean related factors:

standard may be sound, but the reason for the deviation is the workers themselves because they are unskilled or careless or uninterested.

 

 

C. Lean related to the circumstances surrounding:

conditions that make skewed performance criterion unrelated to workers or the standard itself, such as the lack of sources of raw materials or the outbreak of political strikes or recession year may arise.

The seven wastes of Lean Manufacturing are what we are aiming to remove from our processes by removing the causes of Mura and Muri as well as tackling Muda directly. But what exactly are the seven wastes of Lean Manufacturing (or7 Mudas)? The Seven Wastes of Lean Manufacturing are;

  • Transport
  • Inventory
  • Motion
  • Waiting
  • Over-Processing
  • Overproduction
  • Defects

There are seven types of waste in lean manufacturing.

The first is transportation. It's movement of goods that has no value.

Second is unnecessary inventory. It takes up floor space and adds to lead times.

Waiting is the third type of waste. Anything that is waiting for value to be added is waste. It could be either people or components.

The fourth type of waste is motion. This is the movement of either people or equipment that is not needed.

Overproduction is the fifth type of waste. It means producing more than is needed.

The next type of waste is over-processing. Over-processing results from poor design that demands more work than is really needed.

The last type of waste is defects, and it focuses on the time wasted in inspecting for and correcting them.

Reducing all types of waste leads to efficiency and greater profitability.

The original seven muda are:

  • Transport (moving products that are not actually required to perform the processing)
  • Inventory (all components, work in process, and finished product not being processed)
  • Motion (people or equipment moving or walking more than is required to perform the processing)
  • Waiting (waiting for the next production step, interruptions of production during shift change)
  • Overproduction (production ahead of demand)
  • Over Processing (resulting from poor tool or product design creating activity)
  • Defects (the effort involved in inspecting for and fixing defects)

Mr Jetley described it well, the only problem is that you have to break down the Process and detect these wastes. its best doen by somebody that isn't in the company or project. They look objective

Mr. Jetley and Ms. Woofter have described it well. There used to7 wastes in Lean Manufacturing. Now they are considering 'under utilized employee' as the8th waste.

here are eight types of wasts manufactured:     1. Inventory: Work-in-progress that is stored, therefore not generating value and also incurring cost.     2. Waiting: Work-in-progress that is stalled until the next process step is available.     3. Transportation: Moving goods, service information or customers more than absolutely necessary.     4. Motion: Moving resources (people, equipment) to place where they’re needed.     5. Overproduction: Producing or doing things before they’re actually required.     6. Over-processing: Duplicate or inefficient activities due to poor product and service process design.     7. Quality defects: Identifying, qualifying, and fixing mistakes.     8. Mis-used talent: Producing goods or services that don’t actually meet your customer demands.
