Process waste elimination is an important objective of scientific management and industrial engineering disciplines. Frank Gilbreth proposed process charts to visualize and improve processes.
Taiichi Ohno and Shigeo Shingo combination brought of the 7-Waste Model and created a strong focus on identifying and eliminating waste.
The 7-Waste Model was further extended by others in more wastes. The flow process chart with five symbols can be further developed to identify more wastes and operationalized the extended 7-Waste Model.
The visualization chart can be record the follow events, flows or quantities
Storage
Transport of material
Movement of Operator
Set up of Machine
Uploading material
Batch quantity
Processing or Operation
Unloading material
Inspection
Defects or Rejections
Rework
Temporary delays
Idle time of machine
Idle time of operator
What more needs to be added?
