Different types of waste
‘Lean Wastage’ is commonly referred to as Muda; any activity that consumes resources, but creates no value. (Womack and Jones, 2003) Taiichi Ohno comprised Lean theory with the seven types of Muda, as outlined in appendix one. (Charantimath, 2011)
waste in automotive industry
Lean Manufacturing is primarily concerned with removing waste from the production process. (Pham, Dimov and O 'Hagan, 2001)
One issue incurring wastage is overproduction which can lead to excess inventory. Unsold inventory is caused by excess car parts being produced without new orders or demand from customers. In turn, leading to supply exceeding demand. Overproduced goods are often “hidden” wastes since many believe they are assets with

waste in Health Care industry
In the service sector, it is unquantifiable to recognise and pinpoint core issues because time, in comparison to inventory in manufacturing, is not tangible.
Motions such as reaching and bending are issues abundant within healthcare. Staff are repeatedly injured because of processes like transporting a patient from wheelchairs to beds which aren 't designed ergonomically. Staff take time off for rehabilitation when unnecessary motions incapacitate them, which can result in a loss of productivity, efficiency and enhance overall costs of employment and training.
Waiting time can affect hospitals as Patients are constantly waiting for treatments, clinicians are waiting for supplies. (Hafer via Deschenes, 2012). Some medications need to be administered within a certain amount of time after a reaction or a procedure. Waiting can diminish the quality of pharmaceuticals and its effectiveness with patients.
There are countless defect wastes within healthcare; such as hospital acquired infections (HAIs), pre-mature discharges, incomplete medical records or broken instrument kits and misdiagnosis. Defects are typically covered-up through reworks and work-arounds, however defects can result in losing a patient (customer) as well as build-up costs to accommodate misdiagnosed patients.

Section 4 – Understand how to keep waste to a minimum in a business environment
Lean manufacturing is the production of goods using less of everything than in mass production: less human effort, less manufacturing space, less investment tools and less engineering time to develop a new product. A company becomes lean by continuously increasing its capacity to produce high-quality goods while simultaneously decreasing
iii. Processing merchandise while leaving and entering the warehouses was In itself a very inefficient and unfruitful task because of the bad state of inventory management in the warehouse. This contributed to frequent stock outs in the stores because of the lack of proper inventory processing.
“Lean is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste (non-value-added activities) through continuous improvement by flowing the **product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of perfection.” Lockwood [24].
In both, poor and wealthy countries, the cause seems to be the elevate amount of food waste (Kruszelnicki, 2012). Nonetheless, in each one due to different reasons: in poor countries the wastage is produced by continuous wars, precarious means of transportation and the lack of good refrigeration, whereas in wealthy countries, it is because of the large number of restaurants, the hectic urban life and the absence of good house skills.
We can watch what we purchase and monitor our home storage better. I believe by moving slow every day and reducing food will reach a max level of not wasting anymore and we often buy more than we need and allow the excess to go to waste. Every time we go to the store we should be more careful on what to buy and be thank full of what we have. For example, making a shopping list is the best way to reduce food waste. Planning ahead and storing food properly we can reduce the amount of food we waste. Not only that, but saving food is saving money.
Food waste has an immense negative effect on our economy and even our environment. Our environment is taking a hit from all the extra greenhouse
As a result of delayed treatment, patients are more likely to experience unanticipated intensive care (ICU) admissions as well as increased lengths of stay, cardiac arrest, and death (McGaughey et al., 2007).
If there is too little production of inventory then you will have unhappy customers. And if there is too much inventory produced then you will have an excessive amount of inventory in storage. These factors happen when the projection for a project is wrong and the data used is incorrect.
One of the things that the average household can do to help decrease the amount of waste produced is by decreasing the amount of food that is purchased at a time. This would greatly decrease the amount of waste produced by people because the less that is bought, the less food that is likely to be thrown out. People in the U.S. have a tendency to over buy when they go
Second, the classification in inventory management is still inaccurate. That results in some problems such as: the severe lack of some products which are in growing demand (1 inch valve series 230), the redundancy making storage expenses go up and the stagnancy in storage area (to products like gear driven rotary and monitor controller)

There are many ways to prevent food wastage, however many people think of food wastage as a benign substance. They throw out food because it rots in the bin anyway right? No not really because for food to compost correctly it needs its light and air for the food to breathe. While its in the bin it has neither of them. A lot of people throw away their fruit or vegetables because their not the right size, shape to even the same colour as the rest, because its never the “same” as all the others. But by buying these perfectly good food at the shops or even at the farmers markets, it helps utilise food that may end up wasted.
The third theme is “to identify the process and place that are producing the waste in the organization”. As per the theme, it is required to judge the factors of overproduction is taking place from the aspect of the customer’s demand, whether the unnecessary processing is taking place, the proper monitoring of the production process is not maintaining, and whether to wait for the operators or not (Ballé and Ballé).
Lean is defines the manufacturing philosophy that reduces the time between the shipping and customer demand, which based on the systematic method by eliminating waste, that means giving the customer what they want when they want it, and don 't waste whatever. Rahmana, Sharif and Esa (2013) suggested lean production is mentioned to improve the company 's performance from the philosophy in reducing waste in order. That means, lean system destination is the decrease cost by removing the non-value activities, which they are applying a category of tools and techniques for checking and eliminating defective in the production process. In the Evenort Company should emulate the five overriding principles of lean thinking in terms of implementing lean that there is guarantee the company has been driving correctly in the lean manufacturing (Cardiff 2015) as can show in table 1.
