The Value-Add Viewpoint:
Do Only those things that add value to products and services...as judged by the customer!
The value-add viewpoint helps us pinpoint operations that add value and more importantly, those that do not. It is a great way to identify improvement opportunities.
The value-add viewpoint can be applied by small groups, whole departments, or between different functional areas.
The value-add viewpoint is based on the concept that we only do those things that add value and we vigilantly identify and eliminate the ten wastes to provide a "new set of glasses" for judging our business practices and processes.
A good way to start walking the talk is to take a tour of your operation with this "new set of glasses". Make a list of all wastes and any include any nonvalue-added operations that you observe. This is your new improvement list!
