Eight Wastes

A ½ day workshop designed to enable the participants to learn about the 8 Kinds of Waste present in any kind of a traditional enterprise.   These 8 Kinds of Waste were originally described by Mr. Taiichi Ohno, of Toyota, in his book The Toyota Production System, c1988.   In spite of that early revelation, most of us still operate with these 8 Kinds of Waste in our businesses and seem to accept them as normal and inevitable.  This workshop will begin to break our current paradigm and get us into our discomfort zone with regard to these 8 Wastes.

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn about each of the 8 Kinds of Waste
2. Go on a Waste Hunt to identify specific examples of each of these 8 Wastes in your current business.
3. Understand how to eliminate (or, at least, reduce) each of these 8 Wastes in your current business.

Who Should Attend: 

1. Managers at all levels in your business.
2. Operations personnel (manufacturing, warehousing, maintenance, shipping, etc).
3. Office personnel (all staff functions).
4. Supply Chain personnel (internal and external)

Duration:  1 day

JCM Work Designs/The Lean Sigma Team can design and conduct this workshop to meet your specific needs.  Please contact us for a formal proposal.
