What's the 9th waste?

Majdi Alhmah
Director General Manager - BFG International China

Besides the traditional 8 wastes: Transport, Inventory, Motion, Waiting,

Over-Processing, Over-Production, Defects, and Skills... what do you
think will be the ninth waste.

The unemployment is the waste from the government perspective and the result of efficiency from
organization perspective.
Eric, I'm fully with you on "Meetings".

I will put it this way. In a capitalist economy, unemployment is the result of efficient enterprises as
a way to utilize the minimum human resources for higher output. In a socialist economy,
unemployment is the result of inefficient enterprises as the organization goal is more social vs.
efficient.

Complexity. Getting a job done with what seems to be more resources due to organization
structure or IT. As a good rule: simplify then automate.
