This PPT slide, part of the 118-slide Lean Enterprise Leader & Associate Overview Training PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured overview of the eight types of waste in operational processes, categorized into 4 key areas: Transport, Inventory, Motion, and Excess Processing. Each category lists specific examples of waste, followed by elimination tips aimed at improving efficiency and reducing unnecessary activities.
In the Transport section, examples highlight the flow of incoming materials and the movement of work-in-progress (WIP) items, emphasizing the logistical footprint involved. This suggests a focus on optimizing the supply chain and minimizing transportation-related inefficiencies. The Inventory category identifies various forms of inventory, including raw materials and finished goods, indicating that excess inventory can tie up resources and capital.
Motion waste is illustrated through examples of physical movements that do not add value, such as unnecessary walking and reaching. This points to the importance of streamlining workflows to enhance productivity. Excess Processing is described through work that does not meet customer needs, such as unnecessary inspections and approvals. This indicates a misalignment between operational activities and customer value, which can lead to wasted resources.
The elimination tips provided for each category offer practical strategies for addressing these wastes. Suggestions like mistake proofing and balancing flows aim to create a more efficient process. The emphasis on developing accountable teams and utilizing work cells reflects a shift towards a more organized and systematic approach to operations.
Overall, the slide serves as a useful guide for organizations seeking to identify and mitigate waste in their processes. It encourages a proactive stance on operational efficiency, which is crucial for maintaining competitiveness in today’s market.
