Seven Wastes…plus one By Karen Heiser
Processes add either value or waste to a product or service. Although products differ between factories, shop
and office wastes are usually similar. This article will introduce you to identification and elimination of waste
as the first step to increasing business success through lean management.
There are seven types of waste: overproduction, waiting, excess transportation, excess inventory, excess
processing, excess motion, defects and correction .
Overproduction is producing more, sooner, faster than required by the next process. It is costly because it
prohibits the smooth flow of materials and can actually degrade quality and productivity.
Waiting is employee or machine idle time. It results when goods are not moving or being processed. Over
90% of a product’s lead time in traditional batch-and-queue manufacture is spent waiting for the next thing to
happen.
Excess transportation is product movement that adds cost but no value to the customer. Excessive movement
and handling can also cause damage and provide an opportunity for quality to deteriorate.
Excess inventory is raw material, work in process (WIP), or finished goods in excess of requirements for an
on-time delivery to the next process, or to the customer. It consumes productive floor space and hides problems
because it generates an alternative to investigating the root cause of the problem.
Excess processing is doing more work than necessary that adds no value. This includes change orders, extra
operations such as rework, reprocessing, handling or storage that occurs due to defects, overproduction or
excess inventory. Any work that goes beyond the customer’s needs is excess.
Excess motion occurs when extra steps are taken by employees and equipment to make up for inefficient
process layout, poor use of technology, defects, reprocessing, overproduction or excess inventory.
Defects and corrections result in scrap, repair and rework and are an excess cost to the customer. Impacts
include capacity loss, quarantining inventory, re-inspecting, rescheduling.
The eighth waste is your time and skills. When employees are losing time dealing with the seven traditional
wastes, they, and the organization are not reaching their potential. And the customer is paying for it.
At Watervliet Arsenal we are justifiably proud of our quality to the customer. As COL Migaleddi often says,
“We are too good to be ignored.” Global competition, economic constraints, and technological innovations
have driven other good companies to become world-class organizations through lean management. As world-
class organizations realize, customers will pay for value-added work, but not for waste.

The SWARM is coming ... huh?
By Maj. Donald Freer
Experienced safety professionals often seem to have a sixth sense – they walk onto a production floor or
into an office and immediately know what is going on. This sixth sense is “situational awareness” developed
gradually over several years of working in the safety profession.
Any employee can quickly develop situational awareness by learning to focus your attention on specific
facets of what is happening around you in an orderly and disciplined way. It takes concentration, practice and
patience, but you can do it. Remember that safety begins with you!
To help you focus on safety checks and inspection areas the safety office is introducing a new mnemonic
aid called SWARMED. A mnemonic aid is simply a learning technique makes memorization easier. Commonly
encountered mnemonics are often verbal, such as a very short poem or a special word used to help a person
remember something, particularly lists.
Mnemonics rely on associations between easy-to-remember constructs which can be related back to the
data that are to be remembered. Here is the breakdown of our safety mnemonic:
S = Signs and barricades in place
(Ensure all emergency egress, restricted areas, & barricades are posted and functional)
W = Wear PPE properly
(Ensure all building inhabitants are wearing required PPE)
A = Administrative controls (labels)
(Ensure all safety labels, placards, and JSA’s are posted and readable)
R = Risk free walking/working surfaces
(Ensure proper housekeeping and keep working areas clean and clear)
M = Machine guarding
(Ensure machine guards are in place and operational)
E = Energy hazard controls
(Ensure all lockout-tag out procedures are followed)
D = Disposal of chemicals
(Ensure chemicals are properly labeled, stored, and disposed of)
Always something new
