7 Types of Waste 1. Transportation: excessive movement of staff, information, equipment Think of the location of equipment staff need and where it is located. Do they have to leave patient care areas where they provide care, i.e. value to the patient, i.e. customer? How have we reduced this? How can we reduce it more?
7 Types of Waste 2. Waiting Staff Supplies Equipment Information
7 Types of Waste 3. Motion Motion of people that doesn t add value Tools to reduce wasted motion: 5S Workplace Organization Sort Straighten Scrub Standardize Sustain
7 Types of Waste 4. Inventory Cost: space, cash flow, work in process Have what you need Need to assess what
7 Types of Waste 5. Over-processing Does anyone use all the stuff in a ventilator circuit package? We re paying for it!

By the way, the words of 5s originated in Japanese and are translated. May vary depending upon resource you are using

Examples of Value Stream Mapping
3 Types of Work Value-Added Beneficial to patient, facility, Incidental No way around it, needed for process Pure Waste Ouch
Value Stream Process Specify value Select the team Select the process Collect data and map it Analyze data/current state Design future map Create action plan Measure benefits
Kaizen Improvement Change for the best Countless management, data collection, process evaluation tools in Kaizen
