New product types are continually being introduced at PlastiPharm as new clients, with their diverse needs, are added to the company’s portfolio. The new products are designed by the R&D team and prototyped, often on one of the company’s 3D printers. However, when the products are first produced on the production line, a lot of product is scrapped. In a lean environment, which PlastiPharm espouses, why is it important to eliminate the waste?

  • Eliminating waste increases the efficiency of the process and allows the equipment operators to meet customer demands.
  • Eliminating waste encourages the R&D team to consider production needs and processes instead of just the design process.
  • Eliminating waste reduces overprocessing and allows for simplification of the production process.
  • Eliminating waste requires that quality improves, which increases the company’s ability to compete
