In our everyday work, we take what we do for granted and we assume that everything we do is Value-Added. Unfortunately not everything we do is Value-Added and necessary! Thus we need to take stock in what we do and look at “Processes” to determine where the “Waste” lies! By doing so we will reduce and or eliminate waste, shorten lead-times, improve quality of products and services, and most importantly give the customer what they really want and not what they do not want to pay for.
This presentation will give the attendee an understanding on how to perform a “Waste Walk”, what to look for, and what the next steps are in this process. The ultimate outcome is to identify where waste is in a process and how to eliminate the Non Value-Added portions of a process.

• Learn what waste is and how to find it
• Understand the principles of waste elimination
