How Waste Defines Work Status

摘要

The proponents of lean manufacturing have taught us two things. First, be clear in your definition of contributory work, the activities that add value and contribute to the final result. Second, focus on waste: define it, measure it, and have clear strategies in place to eliminate it from the production system. As equipment executives, we need to learn from this approach, reducing waste in almost every process we use to manage our fleets. We can certainly apply this to fleet utilization and improve performance by reducing waste.
