be eliminated.

11. What happens when something is really
hard to predict.
For example when expertise levels are
very different among colleagues. Or

demand.
WASTE TYPE 1: VARIATION OR UNEVENNESS

12. What is a Key Performance Indicator?
How do you now use them in your
business (if at all)?

rigid?
SOLUTION WASTE TYPE 1: KPI'S

13. SOLUTION WASTE TYPE 1: The KPI Board

14. When it’s simply
too much to deal
with.
For example

high. Click the image to see the clip
WASTE TYPE 2: OVERBURDENING

15. Take 15 minutes every morning to ask
yourself and your team the following:

'useless' in a process.
For example waiting
for an approval by a
manager. Or fixing a
mistake for a
customer.

worth it?"
'What is the

happen!"
'What is the best
solution?"
