6 MISSED wastes: a field guide
This 20-page field guide will help you uncover the 6 MISSED wastes that slow down your work and get in the way of your team and your customers.
These 6 are: Memory, Inconsistency, Stress, Started (but not finished), Errors, and Delays.
- First, we’ll learn where to find them, what might they mean, and why they’re bad.
- Then, we’ll run a simple ‘waste walk’—an individual or group search to notice these wastes in your organization.
- And finally, we’ll walk through a simple process for trying out small, reversible changes to remove the waste you found—while learning from successes and responding to failures along the way.
With printable worksheets at the back, this field guide gives you everything you need to find and remove waste.
