7 Toyota identified in their lean production process that there are seven types of wastes. These are:- 1. Overproduction: Where do we produce too much? Products, materials, scrap, etc 2. Waiting: Where do things wait? 3. Transportation: Where do we move things? Travel? 4. Inappropriate processing: Wrong people or wrong equipment for the job at hand 5. Inventory: Build up of inventory 6. Motion: For ergonomics 7. Defects: Rework, refunds, poor quality

22 Summary Over production Defects Waiting Waste Motion Transport Inventory Over Process

23 Waste Hunt Step 1: Brainstorm List as many wastes you can think of under each of the seven wastes. Step 2: Value ($pa) Guestimate the value of each waste item per annum. (NB- don t ignore missed revenue opportunities that may occur as a result of poor quality i.e. defects or inappropriate processing). Step 3: Ease of Removal (1-10) You also need to look at how easy that waste is to remove from your business. 1= very difficult 10=easy

24 Waste Hunt Step 4: Prioritise Pick the three highest ranking wastes to eliminate (from both the dollar value and the ease of eliminating). NB - You may want to pick 1 or 2 that are easy to accomplish, but also pick 1 which has significant dollar value, but not too difficult to remove. Step 5: Develop an action plan Guestimate the value of each waste item per annum. (NB- don t ignore missed revenue opportunities that may occur as a result of poor quality i.e. defects or inappropriate processing).

25 Summary Over production Defects Waiting Waste Motion Transport Inventory Over Process

26 Conclusion As can be seen, all businesses have waste as defined from the customers perspective. Waste can add significant costs to a business. By reducing or eliminating waste, more can be achieved with the same resources or resources can be reallocated to have a greater impact on the business. As a result of the elimination of waste, you can significantly improve the cash flow of your business.
