Very well done I use TIM WOODS to memorize the wastes: T for transportation I for inventory M for motion W waiting O for over production O for over processing D for defects S for skills Thanks a lot
Thanks. Can I challenge you to recreate this video in half the length? Something I can share with others that will get them to understand and be interested in Lean quickly and as consisely as possible?
Of course! If it’s on RU-vid you’re welcome to use it! However, you can get it ad free at leansmarts.com when you sign up for the Community leansmarts.com/community/
I prefer to use the acronym Downtime: D effects O overproduction W waiting N non-utilised talent T transportation I inventory M motion E extra-processing. Use that as its easier to remember than the one advertised.
I'm confused as to why the movement of jacking the car up is a waste with the included jack with the car. Or are you saying its better to buy a $80 hydraulic jack and have it raised in 10 seconds, than 2 minutes manually?
Hi John, great question! Value vs waste has nothing to do with the cost involved with one technology or method versus another. In the case of changing oil in a car, the only activities that “add value” are perhaps the following: 1) draining the old oil, 2) removing the old filter, 3) installing the new filter, and 4) pouring the new oil. Moving the car vertically up/down accomplishes nothing in the eyes of a paying customer. It doesn’t add value; its waste. Go to any jiffy lube or quick service shop and you’ll see that they don’t even lift the car up. Someone is below the car in a pit (standing up) and performs the operation without ever raising/lowering the car. The idea is, “Why lift the car (waste of motion) when it is unnecessary and doesn’t accomplish what the customer is paying for?” If you were to ask the question, “How then do we change the oil without moving the car?” you could come up with all kinds of solutions. Some could be enormously expensive to implement. Others could be enormously cheap or even free. So expense of implementation has no bearing on whether the activity being eliminated is wasteful or not. And even if getting rid of the waste is too expensive, it is still waste!
Hi! very good video? I also memorise with this technique: DOWN TIME Defects - Products or services that are out of specification that require resources to correct. Overproduction - Producing too much of a product before it is ready to be sold. Waiting - Waiting for the previous step in the process to complete. Non-Utilized Talent - Employees that are not effectively engaged in the process Transportation - Transporting items or information that is not required to perform the process from one location to another. Inventory - Inventory or information that is sitting idle (not being processed). Motion - People, information or equipment making unnecessary motion due to workspace layout, ergonomic issues or searching for misplaced items. Extra Processing - Performing any activity that is not necessary to produce a functioning product or service.
🤔 So I'll get the customer to waste their own time , heck they can pick their goods up at the door. No delivery no transportation 😂 I produced it BADABOOYA! Come get it.
