7 Deadly Waste 1. Waste from overproduction – occurs due to production
planning when money is blocked in the unsold products. 2. Waste of waiting time – Work- In- Progress is an example
of waste of waiting time. 3. Transportation waste – Unnecessary waste. 4. Processing waste – If a process is held up due to
breakdown of the machinery, money is loss. 5. Inventory waste – every part should be accounted to
avoid inventory waste. 6. Waste of motion – Searching for things, non availability of
the correct tools, not monitoring the running machine etc. can cause wastage of lot of time.
