The 8 Deadly Lean Wastes (PowerPoint PPTX)

To start a Lean initiative in your organization, it is absolutely essential that all employees are able to recognize the eight types of waste (or "muda" in Japanese) that are all around them. The ability to identify wastes is the first step towards their elimination. Identifying the various types of waste in your work areas and processes will help you to decide the appropriate Lean methods and tools such as 5S and TPM that you can use for building a Lean enterprise and serve your customers more effectively.

Based on the Lean philosophy, all activities in an organization can be grouped into two categories: value-added (VA) activities, and non-value-added (NVA) activities. It should be noted that VA and NVA activities (waste) are viewed from the customer perspective.

VA activities are those that bring higher value to products and services. Examples are answering customer queries, entering orders, ordering materials, laying foundation, creating codes, assembling parts, shipping of goods to customers, etc. Customers are willing to pay for these improvements which can change the form, fit or function of a product or service.

On the other hand, NVA activities are tasks that add cost or time but do not add value. Examples are filing, copying, recording, waiting, counting, checking, inspecting, testing, reviewing and obtaining approvals. These activities should be eliminated, simplified or reduced as much as possible.

In our work environment, the eight types of waste are all around us. They are: Over-production, Inventory, Waiting, Transportation (or Conveyance), Motion, Over-processing, Defects, and Non-utilized Talent (or Intellect).

Included in this presentation is a collection of specific examples of the eight wastes of Lean from seven industries. They include: Manufacturing, Product Development, Healthcare, Financial Services, IT Services, Government (Public Sector) and Office (Administrative Functions).

This 8 Deadly Lean Wastes PPT training presentation can easily be integrated with your own Lean training materials focusing on waste analysis, elimination and prevention techniques such as 5S principles, Kaizen, Standardization, Value Stream Mapping, PDCA Problem Solving, TPM, etc. to create a comprehensive Lean training program for your organization.
