• Transport • Inventory • Motion • Waiting • Over Production • Over Processing • Defects
Excessive Inventory
• Excessive raw, WIP or finished goods inventory is wasteful • Inventory should exist for two reasons: – Buffer, required to maintain throughput in an environment where variation is present – Satisfy customer demand • Reducing variation enables inventory reduction
Waiting
• Idle time – any idle time such as watching equipment, waiting for inspection, waiting for raw material, waiting for maintenance, waiting for paper work… • Causes: – When two dependent activities are not fully synchronized – Insufficient amount of storage containers – Poor layout – Poor work balance – Unreliable equipment
