S01:E18 Eliminating the 7 Lean Wastes Using Simulation

Are the seven wastes of Lean—transport, inventory, motion, waiting, overproduction, over-processing, and defects—silently draining your profits? Identifying them is one thing, but eliminating them without disrupting your live production floor is a monumental challenge. Traditional trial-and-error improvements are often slow, risky, and based on assumptions rather than data.

In this episode of Factory on Air, we explore a powerful, modern approach to waste elimination. We reveal how simulation, powered by a Digital Twin of your facility, provides a risk-free virtual sandbox to test, validate, and perfect process improvements before you implement them in the real world.

Join us to learn:

  • How to use simulation to redesign layouts, crushing excess transportation and motion waste.
  • The strategies for testing different production schedules in a virtual environment to tackle overproduction and excess inventory.
  • How to identify and eliminate hidden bottlenecks, turning waiting time back into productive time.
  • How the DBR77 platform enables you to run powerful "what-if" scenarios, providing the data you need to confidently deploy changes that have a real impact on your bottom line.

 ▶️ Tune in to Episode 18 to discover how to de-risk your continuous improvement journey and wage a smarter war on waste.
