Eliminating Non-Value-Added Work

Within your place of work, identify areas where you can find opportunities to eliminate wasteful work. Examples of wasteful work include inefficient hand-offs in which information is incomplete, searching for information or reports, waiting for others to complete their work, fixing equipment, etc. Identify two areas and address these issues:

1. In examining a recent experience, what areas (2) of waste can you identify? How much time is involved?

2. How do you plan to communicate them to other members of the team?

3. What do you think are the challenges in gaining support from your team?
