  • Waste Review

Waste Review

  1. Defects Errors, bugs, rework, failures, misunderstandings.
  2. Overproduction. Making more than needed or earlier than needed (extra features, unnecessary outputs).
  3. Waiting. Idle time when people or systems wait (blocked work, slow approvals, slow CI).
  4. Non-Utilized Talent. Underusing people’s skills, knowledge, creativity (manual tasks engineers shouldn’t do).
  5. Transportation. Unnecessary handoffs or transfers between people, teams, systems (Dev → QA → Ops loops).
  6. Inventory. Work-in-progress that isn’t delivering value yet (open PRs, backlogs, half-finished work).
  7. Motion. Unnecessary movement or context switching (searching for info, tool hopping, interruptions).
  8. Extra Processing. Doing more work than necessary (over-engineering, excessive documentation, duplicate checks).
