8 deadly waste factors are factors that you want to get rid of and avoid as they can slow production down leading to longer lead times on projects that have specific due dates. so identifying these factors is important as they can lead to unwanted downtime, check materials for any defects as that is time you have to waste fixing a problem. Make sure your inventory is well organized and labeled properly as time spent looking for stuff is wasted time used for working. Also, make sure you aren't spending any time waiting, whether that's for drawing or parts, waiting time is wasted time. (Listed below are the 8 factors)

The 8 Factors of Deadly Waste

defects 

overproduction

waiting

non-utilized talent

transportation

inventory

motion

extra-processing

5 why is a process used in the manufacturing process to figure out why a problem exists and how could you improve and fix the problem that is present? If you have an equipment failure you can ask yourself a series of questions till you figure out the root causes. For example, if you have a hose leaking oil or water. You would ask why is that happening, the hose is rotten, why is the hose rotten, there was no routine maintenance being performed. ask yourself why 5 times, you may answer your question but keep looking as one thing can lead to another.

The process in which I went thur to implement 5s in my workplace. For this assignment, we chose one area that can be organized and cleaned up.

For this assignment, I created a checklist for daily maintenance on the CNC machine. The daily routine should be performed by the operator to keep the machine running in optimum conditions.

In this assignment created a value stream map, to determine how long it takes to complete each step in the manufacturing process to create tube bundles. From the time the customer orders to the time it's being shipped. There are 5 steps in the full process, Use the value stream map to determine the total lead time, total time wasted on value and nun-value added processes.

In this assignment, I was tasked to find out which step in the manufacturing process, for hj 50 bundles add value or don't add value. Anything that involves me inspecting material or bending tubes doesn't add value, whereas cleaning, assembly, and crateing do add value because they benefit the customer more
