LEAN TIMWOODS is a way to find and remove things that waste time, money, or quality in your work. By using this way, you can make your customers happier by giving them what they want with fewer resources and less harm to the environment.
Few things that waste time, money, or quality in different kinds of domains:
In a library, moving books from one shelf to another when they are not being borrowed is a waste. You can avoid this by putting books where people can find them easily.
In a bakery, having too many breads or cakes that are not sold is a waste. You can avoid this by making only what people want to buy.
In a gym, walking too far to get the equipment you need is a waste. You can avoid this by arranging the equipment in a way that makes sense.
In a call center, waiting for a customer to answer the phone or for a supervisor to approve something is a waste. You can avoid this by calling customers when they are available or by giving more authority to the staff.
In a factory, making more products than what people want to buy is a waste. You can avoid this by making only what people order.
In a hotel, doing more things than what people need or like is a waste. You can avoid this by asking people what they want and doing only that.
In a hospital, making mistakes in the treatment or diagnosis of patients is a waste. You can avoid this by using systems that prevent or catch errors.
In an office, not using the skills or ideas of the workers is a waste. You can avoid this by letting workers share their thoughts and help improve the work.
