Recently I did a post of 7 waste of Lean (Check Thread) in an attempt to jump start some Quality Improvement Program in your organization.
The 8th waste which is not originally included in the traditional 7 WASTES OF TPS by Taichi Ohno is equally an interesting one.
The 8th Waste is UNDER UTILIZATION OF PEOPLE: When employees potentials are not leveraged on by the organization, the opportunity cost becomes a direct waste to the bottom line. Other sample of this waste are as follows:
(1) Persons put on the wrong job
(2) Giving position without the requisite authority
(3) Not dealing with perpetual under performance.
e.t.c.
I am sure you can relate with one of those.
Do identify this waste in your business and make necessary corrections.
