Value Add and 8 Wastes

Value Add and the 8 wastes are a central concept in Lean Manufacturing. By reducing any of the 8 wastes, businesses will see improvements in performance.

You can use this approach to enable your employees to talk about and identify opportunities to reduce wasteful activities, by having a common language to describe waste.
