This document discusses the basics of lean manufacturing and identifies the eight wastes. It explains that lean manufacturing aims to produce goods on demand, without defects, one by one, and at the lowest cost. The eight wastes are injuries, defects, inventory, overproduction, waiting time, motion, transportation, and processing waste. It distinguishes between value-adding activities like drilling and assembling that change the product, and non-value adding activities like sorting and walking that consume time and money but do not change the product.
