The document outlines 8 types of waste that can occur in business processes: motion, waiting, transportation, storage, defects/rework, over processing, over production, and unused human capacity. It provides examples and explanations of each type of waste, such as unnecessary movement of operators, idle time when waiting for the next task, and transporting materials long distances. The overall message is that eliminating these 8 wastes can help improve business efficiency and reduce non-value added activities.

5. Overproduction
1. Overproduction: Production of
unneeded goods just to maintain
high machine and operator
utilizations.
Prepared by John F.Petak 5

6. Waiting
2. Waiting: Idle time due to the
imbalance of work contents in a
sequential process. Operator idle
time may also be due to dedication
to a single semi-automatic machine
that requires manual loading and
unloading but operates automatically
while the operator is idle, waiting for
the next load or unload operation.

7. Transportation
3. Transportation: Movement of
product from one operation to the
next adds no value. Transporting
materials long distances and double
handling of products are just two
wasteful practices.

8. Process
4. Process: Non-value-added
activities such as packaging for
interplant transportation and
excessive inspection.
Prepared by John F.Petak 8

9. Storage
5. Storage: Work-in-process and
finished goods inventory are non-
valued-added activities. Financial
resources are tied up, and
potential
quality problems are created due
to
storage.

10. Motion
6. Motion: Unnecessary
movement
of operators to complete a task.
Such movement usually
originates
from poor layout and the
presence
of work-in-process.

11. Quality
7. Quality: Repair of products to
fulfill customer requirements is a
non-value-added activity.

12. Unused Human Capacity
(Ideas)
8. Unused Human Capacity:
Involve all employees in waste
reduction and lean thinking to
help meet or exceed the
primary business goals of
