WasteWhat is it?• Waste (Muda) is anything that does not add value to the

customer. Identifying and removing waste will improve our value stream, and help create flow and pull in our processes.

How does it work?

To help us manage waste we break it into two types:

• Type 1: waste we can identify, but cannot easily remove. This will include geographical, IT and legislative constraints.

• Type 2: waste that we can eliminate now

7 forms of process waste

Transport-e.g moving work, hand offs between departmentsInventory-e.g stock-too muchMotion-e.g walking to printer – on another floor?

Waiting e.g waiting for work-callsOver Production e.g producing more than requiredOver / Under Processing e.g checking the checkersDefects e.g rejects/rework.
