Here are the 8 wastes that we will look at:
1. Overproduction
2. Transportation
3. Excess Inventory
4. Defects
5. Over-process
6. Wasted motion
7. Customers waiting time
8. Unused employee potential
Finding the waste component can really make a difference in any field if you look hard enough. Making changes can impact the final goal.
In a classroom, students can help look for wastes and probably would enjoy pointing them out.
Students might also have a different perspective than a teacher amd be able to point out things that a teacher might not see.
In the following posts, I hope to examine each of these wastes and try to look for ways that schools and teachers have too much waste. As a taxpayer, I would be interested in looking at ways to reduce waste and get more bang for my money.
Feel free to jump in and share ways you see waste in your school community. We might have a common issue that has been overlooked.
