            Above you have the complete description of the 8 wastes that you might oversee. With the help of their description it is easier for you to identify them.<\/p>\n

            Below I have provided some guidelines which can help you in creating an effective waste walk checklist.<\/p>\n

            Guidelines<\/h2>\n

            \n
            1. Have a small meeting with the all team members.\n
               \n
               1. The meeting should have a purpose.<\/li>\n
               2. The meeting should provide information about different types of wastes to all team members.<\/li>\n
               3. When current state problems are identified, then copies containing information about them should be passed on to other members.<\/li>\n
               4. Assign particular areas to walk with your team members.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
               5. You need to walk the process depicted on your map; you can do that as a group to confirm the areas to address.<\/li>\n
               6. You need to explain to all the team members about the things you people are observing and what your intended purpose is. Share your vision and the map along with various waste examples so that it can describe the objectives of this observation activity.<\/li>\n
               7. You need to study the whole process\/activity for almost 30-45 minutes.<\/li>\n
               8. Next, you need to take notes of all work which feels like waste to you.<\/li>\n
               9. Once that is complete, you need to return to your team members and discuss about your observation.<\/li>\n
               10. Next what you need to do is to match all the wastes which you have seen to the problems that were previously identified in the current-state map, you can do this as a team. During the walk, if you encounter other issues then place them all on the checklist.<\/li>\n
               11. This is the last step; you need to place the results of the waste walk right next to the checklist which is being shared and used in your area. You can use the results to continue to socialize the system level and current state problems that irritate the process and people.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>
