The 7 Wastes of Lean for Frontline Kaizen - Lean Manufacturing Training

Continuously improve and practice kaizen more effectively by learning to identify the 7 wastes of lean manufacturing. Eliminating waste is at the heart of lean manufacturing methodology and central to the practice of kaizen (continuous improvement). "Waste" is anything that does not create value in the eyes of the customer. Traditionally, there are seven identified wastes: 1. Transportation 2. Inventory 3. Motion 4. Waiting 5. Over Processing 6. Over Production 7. Defects Lean accomplishes massive process improvement NOT by working people harder but by eliminating wasteful activities from the work (and thereby making the work EASIER). When the waste is eliminated, the value can FLOW. We teach KAIZEN as a practice of three skills that we call the "kaizen trinity." These three skills include: 1. Waste Elimination 2. 5S Methodology / Housekeeping (watch preview:    • The 7 Wastes of Lean for Frontline Kaizen ...   ) 3. Standardization (watch preview:    • How Standardization Makes Kaizen Stick! - ...   ) Want to know what kaizen is all about?
