How to eliminate waste at work using kanban tool

1. Waiting time

Waiting for approvals. Waiting for information from client. Waiting for

clarification. All this consumes a lot of time, without even getting

noticed.

Waiting time

SolutionKanban board paints a clear picture of your project workflow.

As a manager you can identify problems easily.

There is no time is spent on waiting.

2. Overproduction

Overproduction

Sending reports that no one reads. Unnecessary emails to

everyone. Not only do these things

waste a lot of your precious time, but consume

too many of your resources as well.

SolutionYou don’t need resource

reports to see how your resources are being

spent. You don’t even need emails

to converse. So, overproduction is

minimized.

3. Inventory

Inventory

Holding too much raw material on site. Excessive work in progress than

what’s required. All these things add to the inventory. And maintaining

inventory can be as stressful as you think.

Solution

Statistics show that adoption of Kanban has

helped businesses reduce up to 30% of their

inventory.

4. Poor Processes

Poor Processes

You need to define a process to complete a project

successfully. How many resources must be invested in which stage of the project? And similar

other things.

SolutionUsing Kanban boards, you

can create clearly defined processes.

Divide project into stages & tasks for each stage, and assign resources for each

task. Everything is clean,

precise and easy to understand.

5. Resource Utilization

Resource

How are the resources being used in the project? Are there too many people assigned

to a single task? Or, is a task stuck in the rut because less resources are

assigned to it?

Utilization

SolutionYou can easily visualize

where the process is stuck. Based on that visualization you can take remediation measures to either assign

more resources.

5. Workflow

Workflow

Errors at a particular stage in the project. Bottlenecks in

the processes. All this can hinder the workflow of the entire

organization, as work from various departments are

inter-connected

SolutionWith just one glance,

everyone can know which task is in progress and

under which stage. And they can plan their

work accordingly to maintain a smooth flow.
