7 Wastes Of Lean
|
| | # | 7 Wastes Of LeanThe 7 wastes are at the root of all unprofitable activity within your organization.
The 7 wastes consist of:
1. Defects 2. Overproduction 3. Transportation 4. Waiting 5. Inventory 6. Motion 7. Processing
Use the acronym 'DOTWIMP' to remember the 7 Wastes of Lean.
The worst of all the 7 wastes is overproduction because it includes in essence all others and was the main driving force for the Toyota JIT system, they were smart enough to tackle this one to eliminate the rest.
