The 8 Wastes of Lean Poster defines the eight types of waste based on the Toyota Production System. The poster comes in two themes: color and monochrome. Formatted in PDF and in editable PPTX, the poster can be easily printed on an A3-sized paper.

The Waste Poster complements the Lean, Kaizen and 5S training presentation materials. It is an effective tool that can be printed and distributed to attendees of your Lean Management awareness or workshop session. It serves as a takeaway and summary of your Lean Management presentation.

The Waste Poster defines the eight types of waste that occur in most organizations. Examples of each waste category are included.

1. WAITING
Employees waiting for another person, process or equipment.

Examples:
- Waiting to be served
- Waiting for information from other departments

2. OVER-PROCESSING
Processing beyond the standard required by the customer.

Examples:
- Sending emails and cc-ing the entire organization
- Providing higher quality than is necessary
- Repeated manual entry of data
- Unnecessary part/system replacement
- Excessive reporting or documentation
- Redundant approvals

3. TRANSPORTATION

Examples:
- Traveling from counter to counter
- Report routing
- Retrieving or storing documents
- Taking files to another person, or going to get signatures

4. MOTION
Extra physical/mental motion that does not add value.

7. INVENTORY
Building and storing extra products the customer has not ordered.

Flevy has become my preferred learning source, because what it provides is practical, current, and useful in this era where the business world is being rewritten.

– David Coloma, Consulting Area Manager at Cynertia Consulting

"As a young consulting firm, requests for input from clients vary and it's sometimes impossible to provide expert solutions across a broad spectrum of requirements. That was before I discovered Flevy.com.

"As a small business owner, the resource material available from FlevyPro has proven to be invaluable. The ability to search for material on demand based our project events and client requirements was great for me and proved very beneficial to my clients. Importantly, being able to easily edit and tailor the material for specific purposes helped us to make presentations, knowledge sharing, and toolkit development, which formed part of the overall program collateral. While FlevyPro contains resource material that any consultancy, project or delivery firm must have, it is an essential part of a small firm or independent consultant's toolbox."

– Michael Duff, Managing Director at Change Strategy (UK)
