Equipment Focused Methods Flashcards

1
Q

Why do we need methods for avoiding waste?

A

To get high productivity of resources (equipments and people) and adhere to the business plan where paybacks of investments are expected.

However: paybacks are not guaranteed. Thus, weak points must be identified.
