In lean manufacturing, waste is as anything that doesn’t add value to a product. Value is defined as anything that a customer is willing to pay for.
Therefore waste is any cost incurred in a process that does not benefit the customer. Lean manufacturing is centred around eliminating waste from manufacturing processes.
Lean identifies the eight main wastes as overproduction, inventory, motion, defects, over-processing, waiting, unused talent, and transport.
