Looking for new types of waste in Lean

As Lean concepts have been developed over the years some other wastes have been added to the original 7 (TIM WOOD).

  • The waste of Untapped Human Potential

This relates to intellectual capacity not just physical labour

 

  • The waste of Inappropriate Control Systems

This relates to minimising complexity (Push ERP/MRP/SAP vs Pull JIT and Kanban)

 

  • Wasted Energy and Water
  • Waste of Customer Time and Defecting Customers
  • Service and Office Wastes

 

  • The waste of Human Capacity

This relates to physical capacity during meetings, decision making
