    This document discusses types of non-value added activities that can be eliminated or reduced to increase profitability. It identifies two types: avoidable NVAs, which can be eliminated, such as waiting or excessive movement; and unavoidable NVAs, which cannot be eliminated but can be reduced, such as set-up times. Avoidable NVAs are given as examples like walking or waiting during work. Unavoidable NVAs include both essential activities like loading jobs that cannot be eliminated, and non-essential activities like deburring that should be eliminated. The document concludes that companies should eliminate avoidable NVAs, eliminate non-essential unavoidable NVAs, and try to reduce essential unavoidable NVAs.

    WHAT ARE NON VALUE ADDED ACTIVITES?

    You must be remembering, how we concluded a week back, I said eliminate MOST of the non-value added
    activities to increase overall profitability. You must have wondered why not all.

    TYPE OF NON VALUE ADDED ACTIVITIES


    Avoidable NVAs Can be eliminated.
    Un-avoidable NVAs Can not be eliminated but can be reduced.

    AVOIDABLE NVAs
    Some of the examples of these are walking during performing the job, waiting for the next job to come,
    watching something else (other than your job), sharing the tools between the machines, searching
    something, excessive bending while performing the job etc.

    UNAVOIDABLE NVAs
    Some of the examples of ESSENTIAL NVAs are loading the job, taking off cuts, tool changing, job set
    ups, various inspections etc.
    Some of the examples of NON-ESSENTIAL NVAs are excessive gap between the too and product, de-
    burring operation, fettling operation, filing operation etc.

    Hence we should

    }
    Eliminate avoidable non-value added activities.
    & hence
    Eliminate non-essential non-value added activities.
    MOST.
    Try to reduce essential non-value added activities.
