Describe FIVE forms of waste within manufacturing organisations that lean process improvement aims to eliminate.

• Inventory (all components, work in progress and ended product not being processed).
• Motion (people or equipment moving or walking more than is needed to perform the processing).
• Waiting (waiting for the next production step).
• Over-production (production ahead of demand).
• Over-processing (resulting from poor tool or product design making activity).
• Defects (the effort include in inspecting for and fixing defects).
