DateArea and batch or orderName
Write every step this batch or order goes through, in order. Circle V (value-adding: it changes the product into what the customer wants), R (required: the law or your license needs it) or W (waste). Say why in a few words. Don't fix anything yet.
| # | Step, and who does it | V · R · W | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | V R W | ||
| 2 | V R W | ||
| 3 | V R W | ||
| 4 | V R W | ||
| 5 | V R W | ||
| 6 | V R W | ||
| 7 | V R W | ||
| 8 | V R W | ||
| 9 | V R W | ||
| 10 | V R W | ||
| 11 | V R W | ||
| 12 | V R W |
Count them: how many steps were V, how many R, how many W? Which W surprised you?
Customer check: who receives this batch next, and what do they need from it?
