Waste Wednesday: 🚚 Transportation Waste
The most invisible waste is often the most expensive. How much $ is transportation waste costing your organization?

Transportation Waste = The movement of material
or information

Where do you see your material, parts, or information moving without value being added in any way?

Calculate the Cost of Transportation Waste: Use a simple spaghetti diagram to map the distance + time a product moves throughout your facility. Convert time to $. [20 min transportation / day] x [252 days / yr] x
[$50 burdened employee rate to move the material] = $252k / yr

😢 Wow, that ads up quickly! Do your parts move 20+ min / day?

Your Waste Wednesday Challenge: Pick 1 product or piece of information and trace its physical path end-to-end. Count how many times it moves. πŸ‘‡ Share below.

πŸ₯³1 month in to launching, huge success!
We just trained our 1st team of leaders in Higher Education on "Introduction to Process Improvement". The greatest take-away was how to increase flow within an organization through innovation & collaboration.

If you are interested in training your organization on why process improvement is so critical to becoming more competitive, please reach out, I would love to train your team!

All training sessions include the workshop, hands-on simulations, and take-away worksheets to apply it to your organization directly. πŸ₯·
