What If the Real Waste Wasn’t on Your Shop Floor?
Lean training teaches the 7 (or even 8) wastes: overproduction, waiting, excess motion, defects, etc. But what about the waste that happens outside your production line?
Service-side inefficiencies — in freight, telecom, waste, merchant processing, and utilities — quietly drain cash from manufacturers every year. These hidden costs don’t show up in kaizen events, but they have a real bottom-line impact.
What You’ll Learn:
- The Missing Waste: Why indirect service costs should be treated as Lean’s 8th waste.
- Real-World Case Studies: How manufacturers are uncovering 10–40% in savings without layoffs or operational disruption.
