Seven Wastes

 The customer only wants to pay for value, and is not willing to pay for work that doesn't add value. This non-value added work (also called waste) must be eliminated as much as possible.

There are seven types of waste:

  • overproduction: producing more, sooner and faster than required by the next process
  • excess transportation: any transport that adds cost but no value to the product
  • excess inventory: this not only is a waste, but also creates waste
  • excess processing: doing more work than necessary
  • waiting: operator or machine idle time
  • correction: repairs to products
  • motion: walking or wasted motion to pick up or store parts.

You will find more information about the 7 wastes in the member area:

  • an interactive presentation
  • an animation showing waste and value in the value stream
