The DOWNTIME Waste Checklist
The eight kinds of waste that quietly slow down almost every business and charity — in a one-page, print-it-and-use-it audit tool. No fluff, just the questions worth asking about your own operation.
Eight wastes. Two questions each. One page.
Based on the Lean framework we use in every Business Health Scan, this checklist walks through Defects, Overproduction, Waiting, Non-utilised talent, Transportation, Inventory, Motion and Extra processing — the same eight patterns that show up, in different costumes, in almost every operation we've ever audited.
- A plain-English definition of each of the 8 wastes
- Two diagnostic questions per waste to ask about your own team
- Designed to fill in during a 20-minute team conversation
- No sign-up required beyond your email — instant download
