Lean & Waste Reduction

Most of the clock is waste. Go find it.

In most shops, the time a job actually spends adding value is a small slice of its total lead time. The rest is waiting, moving, reworking, and searching. These tools make that waste visible and measurable, so you cut the right things instead of working harder around them.
