Types of lean wastes: defects/missing/incorrect information, overproduction, waiting, over-processing, transportation, intellect, motion, and excess inventory.
In my home we exhibit defects when we leave things in the fridge too long.
In my home we exhibit overproduction of noise when my parents scream at a football game.
In my home we exhibit waiting when everyone else is ready except my dad and we're just waiting in the car.
At my school we exhibit over-processing when teachers make the essay 10 pages long and make us do different types of drafts and organizers just to get the same result as just doing one organizer.
At my school we exhibit transportation waste when everyone is in the hallways during passing period and people are just standing in groups taking up the whole hallway.
At my school we exhibit intellect waste when we have to take classes that have nothing to do with our interests.
At my school we exhibit motion waste when we have to do group projects in class and the materials needed are all the way across the room.
In my home we exhibit the excess inventory type of waste by buying things we think we need, end up not needing them and then we just never return them (I make my returns, my parents don't).
2 second lean, method for continuous improvement, always looking for small improvements makes a difference in the long run.
2 second improvement for defects: When something starts going bad put it in a respective area in the fridge for things expiring and put a sticky note on the front of the fridge saying what's expiring and if after a couple days no one has eaten it throw it out.
For this improvement I started by talking to my parents about my idea of removing all the expired products from the fridge and organizing the almost expired items and acted on it. I started by taking everything out of the fridge and looking at all the experation dates to figure out what is expired and throwing it away. Then I got the things that were almost expired, put them in a drawer in the fridge, labeled the drawer as "almost expired" I then wrote the names of the items and the expiration dates on a sticky note on the outside of the fridge to let my family know what's in the drawer and when they expire. On the sticky note I also added that every thursday I'll be going through the drawer and clearing everything left in it out.
