Visual Waste Management/Steps

Tools in Blue Lines

Tools not in Blue Lines

The biggest form of waste in Lean is excess steps or wasted movement. Sometimes something as simple as where the tools are placed at a workstation while processing can highlight waste. These extra steps cause waisted time and money . Each step wasted could have been time processing. Extra steps also tire out staff. So, the next time you see tools that are not in their proper spots just push them back in . Help staff reach their full potential!
