Waste Walk (Office or Site)

Run a waste walk through any process or workplace: the eight wastes checklist adapted to your context, and the top three fixes with owners.

Run a waste walk on: {{target}} (the process/area, what I observe day-to-day: {{observations}}). Apply the eight wastes to MY context with examples found from my observations: waiting (for approvals, information, other teams), overprocessing (reports nobody reads, double data-entry, approval layers), motion and transport (physical or digital — the tool-switching, the walk to the printer), inventory (WIP piling between steps, stockpiles), defects and rework (the redo loop and its cause), overproduction (making before it's needed), and unused talent (the skilled person doing unskilled work). Output: the waste inventory ranked by hours-or-dollars, the top 3 fixes (each: the countermeasure, owner, this-month action), and the one metric to prove improvement.

Fields like {{ this }} are placeholders — replace them with your own details, or let Aria ask you for them.
