From a Lean perspective, waste is any step or activity within a process that does not add value to the customer, and the customer would not be willing to pay for it. The eight wastes are often referred to when considering process waste that exists within your operational processes but does not offer any value. This course explores the eight types of waste within organizational processes, their influence on routine workflows and their role in causing inefficiencies and delays.

First, we’ll show you how to perform a comprehensive 8-waste analysis to pinpoint areas of concern in operational processes and apply suitable corrective actions. In addition, you’ll learn how to maximize resource utilization at work and streamline processes to increase productivity and efficiency.

We designed this course for anyone seeking to optimize operational efficiency and streamline processes. Prerequisite knowledge and expertise are optional to take this course. To facilitate learner comprehension, we included practical demonstrations and a case study to simplify complex ideas and principles of the Lean approach.
