The Seven Info-Wastes Over-production Creation of unnecessary data and information Information over-dissemination; Pushing, not pulling data 2. Inventory Lack of control: Too much in information Complicated retrieval; Outdated, obsolete information 3. Transportation Information incompatibility, Software incompatibility: Communications failure, Security issues 4. Unnecessary Lack of direct access; Reformatting Movement 5. Waiting Late delivery of information; Delivery too early (leads to rework) 6. Defective Products Haste; Lack of reviews, tests, verifications Need for information or knowledge, data delivered 7.
