Defects
If your process includes any of these wastes, then you will benefit from our Lean Manufacturing training and implementation.
The Eight Wastes
of any process:
- Overproduction
- Waiting
- Transportation
- Inventory
- Excess Motion
- Extra Processing
- Under-Utilized Talents
We have a very detailed process to help you identify and eliminate the
Eight Wastes in your business.
- Identify your current processes through a “Current State Value Stream Map”
- Locate the waste in the current process
- Identify the future process, eliminating the waste, through a “Future State Value Stream Map”
- Perform an analysis of most improvement availability with least cost required
- Develop an action plan to attack the waste through process improvement
- Implement process improvements through the use of Lean Manufacturing tools such as 5S, kaizen events, kanban, one-piece flow manufacturing, and quality process controls
