Types of wastes

1) Information Overflow
(Ex: Sending or receiving too many emails, or copies of documents for
different repositories and people, reports about everything)
2) Waiting
(Ex: waiting occurs when an upstream activity does not deliver on time, or
waiting is the result of other problems such as data entry errors, customer
respond ...)
3) Excess Inventory
(Ex: Storing excessive amounts of information including keeping multiple
copies of documents in different repositories, unfinished tasks, and
unused data in database.)
4) Defective information
(Ex: Wrong or missing information, inadequate processing of information,
or poor-quality inputs from customers)
5) Repetition
(Ex: actions or work that is repeated twice or many times due to updated
or changed information)
6) Excess Motion
(Ex: the time and resources spent trying to identify the information
elements that need to flow)
