7 Basic Types of Waste (Toyota)
• Overproduction – producing more than what is demanded
by the customer
• Inventory – Storing more than the absolute minimum
needed
• Transportation – the unnecessary movement of materials
• Waiting – waiting for the next process step
• Excess processing – due to poor tool or product design
• Wasted motion – unnecessary reaching, walking, looking for
parts, tools, prints, etc
• Defects – scrap and rework
What is Flow ?
• Producing and moving one item at a time (or a small and consistent
batch of items) through a sequence of process steps as continuously
as possible, with each step making just what is requested by the next
step.
