Waste incurred during the production process can have a significant impact on a company’s bottom line. This Guide examines the tools and techniques that can be used in conjunction with process data to identify and prevent process waste. These range from simple aids for brainstorming and identifying priorities to the construction of simple charts based on straightforward statistical principles. The Guide uses a fictitious manufacturer to demonstrate the principles involved and to show how using process data can generate cost savings, improve productivity and product quality, and limit the company’s environmental impact. This Guide should be read in conjunction with GG223 Preventing Waste in Production: Industry Examples.
