Applied Lean Agile

A simple answer on Efficiency

We have to look at the process (the steps to creating value – A/K/A “Value Stream” in SAFe ) … and then identify where the wastage is at within that process.

There are eight main kinds of wastes:

1) Too much stuff (over production)

2) Waiting

3) Moving around too much (motion)

4) Too many steps (extra processing)

5) Too much stuff lying around (inventory)

6) People doing work wrong (defects)

7) Not using people’s ideas (unused talent)

8) Transportation – unnecessary movement of materials, products, or information
