Yоu wоrk аt а fаctоry, assembling widgets. You notice someone comes around every Monday to perform preventive maintenance on your widget assembly machine. The mechanic oils it, takes a few measurements, makes some notes in her handheld device for upload to the server, and then gives it a pat and says you're good to go. She often arrives in a cart, and carries a large mobile toolkit with her so she's prepared for every contingency. While she deals with your machine, you politely wait around and nervously watch the large volume of partially assembled widgets building up, while the folks downstream from you wish you'd built up more inventory before the maintenance person came. The upside to all this is you generally make near-perfect widgets, every time; your DPMO is down to 1. Consider the principles of lean maintenance covered in Chapter 11, in particular the listing of muda (waste) items on p. 390. Evaluate this scenario against the Transportation, Inappropriate processing, and the Defects muda. In particular, which of those options is most wasteful here, and which is not all that bad?
