Non-Value Added

  A Non-Value added activity is any activity that adds no value to the product, service or information.  Non-value added activities typically have three characteristics that are fairly simple to identify.   

​Those characteristics are:

1. The activity or information does not transform or add value in any way.
2. Nobody is willing to be a customer for the activity.
3. Something is not performed correctly the first time through.   

Non-value added activities generally take up about 85% of a Value Stream in most organizations.  For more information on how to identify and remove non-value from your organization take a look around at some of our courses or send us a message, we would be happy to help.  Now, before you go take a moment to answer this question in the comments below,:
