lean management according to the teachings of Taiichi Ohno, <strong>7 types of waste<\/strong> are distinguished. Numerous examples of these 7 wastes of lean manufacturing (known as &#8220;Muda&#8221; in Japanese) can be found in every production environment. Therefore, it should not be misunderstood: a complete elimination of waste is not possible. In fact, they can sometimes cause each other, such as a reduction in inventory triggering waiting times for resupply. At the same time, they can multiply: overproduction increases inventory, and consequently, the transportation effort. Knowledge of the 7 wastes of lean manufacturing is intended to help identify process weaknesses and efficiency losses more easily and reduce them more effectively.<\/p>\n<p>A quick overview over the 7 wastes of lean manufacturing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#transport\"><strong>Transport<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#best\u00e4nde\"><strong>Inventory<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#bewegung\">Motion<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#warten\">Waiting<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#\u00fcberproduktion\">Overproduction<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#overengineering\">Over-Engineering \/ Incorrect Technology<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#ausschuss\">Defects\/Rework<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A useful mnemonic for remembering the 7 wastes of lean manufacturing is the acronym TIM WOOD (<strong style=\"font-size: 15px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">T<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 15px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">ransport,\u00a0<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 15px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">I<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 15px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">nventory,\u00a0<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 15px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">M<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 15px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">ovement,\u00a0<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 15px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">W<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 15px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">aiting,\u00a0<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 15px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">O<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 15px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">ver-Production,\u00a0<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 15px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">O<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 15px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">ver-Engineering,\u00a0<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 15px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">D<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 15px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">efects).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>All seven types of waste share the characteristic of being <strong>non-value-adding processes<\/strong> in production. Strictly speaking, only the primary utilization time of the operational resources is value-adding. Therefore, in a project, the activities that are non-value-adding and thus represent waste must be identified.<\/p>\n<p>The scope of the project should include the assessment of waste. For example, the transport of components to hardening furnaces in another hall is a non-value-adding activity. However, if considered at the operational level, such as within the framework of a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Continual_improvement_process\">continual improvement process<\/a> (CIP), the rough layout of the production is assumed to be fixed, and the transport is mandatory. To reflect this situation, the category of value-enabling processes can be introduced, as transport enables the value creation brought by the hardening furnaces. On a strategic level, this would still be critically examined as a non-value-adding activity.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the above-mentioned &#8220;<strong>basic types of waste<\/strong>&#8220;, <strong>further types of waste<\/strong> are distinguished depending on the literature.

These inventories incur holding costs, such as opportunity costs for the tied-up capital and, depending on the item, potential depreciation due to aging or perishability. In extreme cases, a complete loss of value can occur if certain processing deadlines are not met. Therefore, inventories should be reduced to an appropriate minimum. The appropriateness is determined by process-related conditions, required service levels, and batch sizes of preceding and subsequent processes.<\/p>\n<p>However, it can also be a competitive advantage for companies to have inventory on hand and always be ready to deliver. Overall, there should always be a balance between the costs of holding inventory (storage costs, tied-up capital, depreciation) and the costs of not meeting customer demand.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Extensive finished goods inventory for products that are rarely ordered<\/li>\n<li>Intermediate storage between production steps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Impact:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>High inventories can conceal other issues in production.
