Are hidden inefficiencies slowing down your operations, draining resources, and causing endless rework? Many processes contain invisible "wastes" that represent major opportunities to make things run better.

This essential course teaches you how to identify these issues by utilizing the commonly used acronym, DOWNTIME, which describes the eight different types of waste found in any process.

• Defects

• Overproduction

• Waiting

• Non-utilized talent

• Transportation

• Inventory

• Motion

• Extra processing

By learning how to specifically identify and eliminate waste, you gain the ability to make changes that provide quick benefits. The goal is to make these wastes visible so you can eliminate problems, such as needing to perform rework, repair, or redoing of something to fix a defect, waiting for others to get back to you, or spending more time performing tasks that add no value to the customer. These wastes also create negative impacts to the environment.

This is the essential course for all employees in your organization, and the starting point for anyone interested in saving time and effort in your work or at home in your personal life.
