8. The 7 wastes of Manufacturing The 7 wastes of Education
Inventory Concepts and ideas that must be stored until a
future time to be applied which may be forgotten
or become obsolete
Extra Processing Relearning, due to initial shallow learning and
time lapse between related subjects
Overproduction Extra and unnecessary curriculum and
assessment activities
Transportation Knowledge must be carried from one subject to
another which may not allow a proper
continuation in the learning stream
Waiting The relevance of the topics in a subject must be
kept “on hold” until a later subject
Motion Moving from one subject to another without fully
understanding the first subject
Defects Shallow learning, forgotten curriculum, failure to
comprehend subject matter relevance
