Process Waste and Idle-Time Analysis

Service Overview

Waste and idle-time analysis examines recorded periods when resources are waiting, repeating work or producing no usable output. It distinguishes operational losses from planned allowances and necessary activities, using the evidence available for selected processes.

Key Objectives

• Describe the scale and distribution of recorded losses, separate different causes where evidence permits, and make assumptions about idle or nonproductive time visible.

Approach & Methodology

We review time records, activity logs and available output information using agreed descriptive categories. Analysis compares recorded loss patterns across periods and conditions, highlighting uncertain classifications. Findings distinguish waiting, repeated work, planned allowances and unclassified time, with the calculation basis stated.

Expected Outcomes & Value

The service gives management a more transparent account of where recorded time and resources are absorbed, supporting realistic evaluation of productivity concerns and further investigation.
