00:00Welcome to Unified Consulting Solutions, where we work to simplify complexity and really amplify performance.

00:07Have you ever felt like your projects are just constantly fighting these invisible headwinds?

00:11You know, those small delays, little mistakes, tiny inefficiencies that by themselves don't seem like a big deal.

00:17Well, today we're going to give you a special lens to see these hidden problems for exactly what they are.

00:22The eight wastes of lean. And trust me, once you see them, you can't unsee them.

00:27So let's just start with a really important question.

00:30What if I told you that most projects are just filled with these hidden inefficiencies that are silently eating away at your time and your money?

00:38These aren't just minor hiccups, you see.

00:41They're systemic problems that have become so normal, we've pretty much stopped even noticing them.

00:46So the key to fighting this has a name, Moda.

00:49It's a foundational concept, comes straight out of the Toyota production system, and it's simple.

00:54It means any activity that eats up resources, your time, materials, effort, but adds absolutely zero value from the customer's point of view.

01:01Bottom line, if the customer isn't willing to pay for it, it's probably waste.

01:06Okay, so to really get a handle on waste, we first have to define its opposite, value.

01:11Value is any action that physically transforms a product or service into something the customer actually wants and is happy to pay for.

01:19You know, hammering a nail, installing a window, pouring concrete.

01:22Those are tangible value-adding steps.

01:24Everything else, well, that's where we need to put on that special lens.

01:29And we can remember these eight wastes with a super simple acronym, downtime.

01:34But hey, this isn't just a list you need to memorize.

01:36Like we're about to see, it's a chain reaction.

01:39I want you to think of it like a set of dominoes, where one type of waste inevitably tips over and triggers the very next one.

01:45Alright, so let's get to where the story of waste almost always kicks off.

01:50Because if you really want to tackle inefficiency, you have to go right back to the source.

01:54The first domino to fall, and honestly, the most crucial one, is overproduction.

02:00As the lean expert Paul Akers says, this is the parent of all other waste.

02:04Just about every single other problem we're going to talk about can be traced right back to this one thing.

02:09So what is it exactly?

02:11Well, it's making too much of something, or making it way too early.

02:15In construction, this could look like detailing drawings far beyond what's needed for the design intent.

02:21Or, a classic one, having a mountain of materials show up weeks before they can possibly be installed.

02:27You're literally creating problems for your future self.

02:30And here is the immediate fallout.

02:32Overproduction instantly creates its best friend, excess inventory.

02:37They are two sides of the very same coin.

02:39The second you make too much, or you order too early, you've created a surplus.

02:44A pile of stuff that now has to be stored, managed, moved, and protected.

02:49So let's watch how this one single action sets off a whole cascade of other problems.

02:54This is where the story gets really interesting, as we see those dominoes start to topple one by one.

02:59First up, all that extra inventory, it's not going to move itself.

03:04This creates unnecessary transportation.

03:07Every single time you move those materials, from the truck, to a lay-down yard,

03:11then from that yard to another spot to make way for another crew, you are adding zero value.

03:16And worse, you're exposing it to potential damage.

03:19And it's not just materials moving, it's people.

03:22This leads directly to the waste of motion.

03:24Just picture the extra steps a worker has to take just to get around the clutter from that excess inventory.

03:29The searching for tools that are buried under a pile of premature deliveries.

03:33The walking around a disorganized site.

03:35It's all just wasted energy.

03:37You know, the more you move things, and the longer they sit around,

03:40the more likely they are to get damaged, or lost, or just degrade.

03:43This chaos of movement and storage leads directly to defects.

03:47That pallet of drywall gets rained on.

03:49Those pipes get dented.

03:50And now you've got errors that are going to require costly rework.

03:54So, when you have a defect, you've got to fix it, right?

03:57And that act of fixing it, that's over-processing.

04:01You're literally paying for the same job to be done twice.

04:04But it's also over-processing to give a higher quality finish than what the customer actually needs.

04:09You know, like creating a perfectly smooth wall that's just going to be covered up by cabinets anyway.

04:14And what's the result of all these problems piling up on top of each other?

04:18Well, people and projects grind to a halt.

04:21The waste of waiting is one of the most visible and, frankly, frustrating signs that your system is broken.

04:26Your crew is literally standing around, waiting for a decision, for rework to get done,

04:31or for the materials they need to be untangled from the mess.

04:35So, we've watched this entire chain of waste unfold, all starting from one simple thing.

04:41Overproduction.

04:42But we've left out the most important piece of the puzzle.

04:45The one thing that holds the key to preventing all of it.

04:48What if we could stop these dominoes from falling in the first place?

04:52You know, the solution isn't some new piece of software or a complex process.

04:56The solution is already on your team.

04:59The eighth waste is non-utilized talent.

05:02This is what happens when we pay for a person's hands, but we completely fail to engage their brain.

05:06The people actually doing the work, the carpenters, the electricians, the plumbers,

05:10They are the ones most capable of seeing these problems and coming up with simple,

05:15effective solutions before they spiral into chaos.

05:18Masaaki Imai, one of the pioneers in continuous improvement, he just captures this brilliantly.

05:24When we fail to empower our teams, when we don't ask for their ideas or respect their expertise,

05:29we're not just being inefficient.

05:30We are wasting our single greatest asset, human potential.

05:34Okay, so now that we understand the story of waste and where it all comes from,

05:39let's give you a practical tool to start seeing this for yourself on your own projects.

05:44I want you to think of this table as your new lens.

05:47Take this downtime acronym and go for what's called a waste walk on your own site or in your office sometime this week.

05:54Just start looking at your processes and asking these questions.

05:57Where are we seeing rework?

05:59Why are people waiting?

06:00Are we really listening to our team's ideas?

06:02This is how you start to see.

06:05So, let's just do a quick recap.

06:07We've defined waste, we've walked through the downtime framework,

06:11and we've followed that whole story of how one little act of overproduction can set off a huge cascade of problems.

06:17But I think, most importantly, we've figured out that the power to stop it lies with the people who are already on your team.

06:23And that brings us to our final thought.

06:26You see, the first and the hardest step is just learning to see.

06:30The next step is to act.

06:31You can't fix everything all at once.

06:34So, what's going to be your first target?

06:36Where can you make the biggest difference tomorrow?
