8 Wastes Check Sheet
All the Time!
Description of Issues
Defect rates are low - quality is not a
current issue
Need to check use of current reports -
either reduce size or eliminate
Multiple approval levels, lots of waiting
for people to sign-off
Opportunity for cross-training to reduce
bottlenecks
Lots of hand-offs, mostly for approvals
Some stockpiling going on - supplies
duplicated across departments
Lot of legacy software, re-entry and not
utilizing auto-populate options
Forms have not been revised in years -
lots of old, and unused fields that could be removed
