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.

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.

Process
4. Process: Non-value-added
activities such as packaging for
interplant transportation and
excessive inspection.

8 Prepared by John F.Petak
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.

9 Prepared by John F.Petak
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.

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

(Ideas)

reduction and lean thinking to
help meet or exceed the
primary business goals of
