WQW 013: Waste Is Not The Enemy
Waste Is Not The Enemy
In the Quality and Continuous Improvement world, it’s common to focus on waste reduction as the enemy to success. However, I don’t think that waste is the enemy of the Quality Warrior. Not that waste is good, but the obviousness of waste as a bad thing actually blinds those of us teaching and coaching continuous improvement to the genius of the Toyota Production System.
Looking at the role of waste as it affects profit, other ways to reduce cost and some of the consequences are discussed.
I reference plastic injection molding in the discussion. In case you are not familiar with the process, here’s a link to a good overview video on YouTube: engineerguy Plastic Injection Molding
