8 Wastes of Lean Manufacturing

Eliminating waste is at the heart of lean manufacturing, and identifying the 8 wastes - Defects, Overproduction, Waiting, Non-Utilised Talent, Transportation, Inventory, Motion, and Excess Processing - is the first step toward a more efficient, productive, and cost-effective operation.

By reducing these wastes, manufacturers can streamline processes, improve quality, and empower their workforce to focus on value-added activities.

To help you communicate these principles on your factory floor, we’ve created posters explaining each of the 8 wastes. Download them now and equip your team with the knowledge they need to drive continuous improvement in your operations.
