2 Hour Deadly Wastes Workshop

Over 1,000 of my participants have contributed to reducing the wastes in their business processes.

  1. You will be able to identify the 7 wastes in your work area and why we must eliminate them in our pursuit of Lean operations.
  2. You will understand why eliminating waste is critical to profitability, capacity to expand and to customer/patient satisfaction. This gives a common objective and framework for all staff to be working together.
  3. You will have a basic understanding of how  wastes take root. Your challenge in future workshops is to learn the tools to eliminate the wastes with your team.

What is “waste”?

“Anything that uses resources like people, material, space, or money but does not directly add value for the customer.”
