This hides problems such as process imbalances, late deliveries from suppliers, defects, equipment downtime and long setup times. Motion Any wasted motion employees make to perform the course of their work. Actions such as looking for, reaching for, stacking, picking up or putting down and walking. Correction Producing products that need correction or are defective. Repair, rework, scrap, replacement and inspection are all defect costs. Employee Participation Losing time, ideas, skills, improvements and learning opportunities by not engaging or listening to employees. Slide 18 Eight Deadly Wastes Overproduction Products being produced in excess of whats required. Products being made too early. This generates other costs such as overstaffing, storage and transportation. Waiting (time on hand) Workers that are standing around waiting on a machine, someone to bring them materials, equipment downtime and no work available. Transportation Carrying work in process (WIP) long distances, moving materials more than once, moving parts in and out of storage. Over processing Taking unneeded steps to process the work. Inefficient processing due to poor tool or product design and. Producing a higher quality product than necessary.
