What is KAIZEN/LEAN

The 7 Wastes of Lean

5. Overproduction Keeping in mind that waste is anything that the customer is unwilling to pay for , it is easy to realize why overproduction is waste. Producing more means that you exceed customer’s demand , which leads to additional costs. Overproduction triggers the other 6 wastes to appear. The reason is that excess products or tasks require additional transportation, excessive motion, greater waiting time, and so on. Furthermore, if occasionally a defect appears during overproduction, it means your team will need to rework more units. In the case of Goodwill overproduction means over packed shelves and textiles racks making it had to shop for customers.
