Following two pictures, show the waste because of motion. Meat Bread Bread Condiments Cheeses Cheeses Vegetables Condiments Meat Vegetables I would like you think about operations you have been part of, interacted or observed. Identify, two (interesting) wastes. Describe the sources of waste in detail and explain why they are wastes. Also, discuss, if you have any solution to eliminate the waste. Ohno believed, there are 7 sources of waste in a process. I have summarized these seven sources of wastes and provided some interesting examples. Seven Wastes with Examples--Summary from book.pdf Among the seven sources of wastes, I find the difference between 2nd (Transportation) and 5th source (Motion) of waste little confusing. Most new learners struggle differentiating between these two. Difference between Transportation and Motion In my opinion, Transportation is moving product between 2 operations. By product we may also consider people, data, goods. Being between 2 operations, the transportation is considered inter- process. To get the full points you should provide two original examples of wastes and discuss ways to eliminate such waste (6 points) and add a constructive comment on at least one student's post (2 points). The wastes cause by transportation may be: additional time for transporting the goods; time means expenses for companies. physical damages that can occur during transportation. misplacing the goods. direct cost with the transportation. any delay of the transportation may cause delays in the next process step, etc. Motion is mainly the unnecessary, excessive movement by employees and machines. can be also unnecessary movement of the parts. But all these movements during an operation/process. The wastes cause by the motion can be: extensive processing time due to walking, lifting, and reaching. injuries that can occur from excessive lifting, stretching, and bending of the operator (person). delays in communication, etc.
