Not sure if it’s that simple. Can organizing really cut down waste that much?

Wait, really? I thought it was about Waiting time!

Yeah, Motion makes sense here. It’s all about reducing unnecessary steps.

I think it’s more about Transportation waste, though.

Definitely talking about Motion. Less movement = more efficiency.

I’m leaning towards 'Motion' as well, but I wonder if 'Transportation' could also apply in some way.

I remember a practice question that mentioned 'Transportation' as a waste, but this feels more specific to how people move.

I'm not entirely sure, but 'Waiting' seems like it could fit too, since less movement might mean less time waiting around.

I think this is about 'Motion' since it talks about reducing unnecessary movement.

Motion, for sure. That's the waste that's all about unnecessary movement and transportation of people, which is what the question is getting at. I feel pretty confident about this one.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key is that the question is talking about reducing unnecessary movement, which is the waste of motion. Organizing the work to minimize how much people have to move around is the solution they're describing.

This one seems pretty straightforward - the question is clearly asking about the waste of motion, since it mentions organizing work to reduce how much people have to move around.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. The question is a bit vague, and I could see arguments for a couple of the options. I'll have to think it through carefully.

I'm not sure about this one. I'll need to weigh the pros and cons of each method to determine which is the most scalable.

Statement A feels too absolute; I mean, not all items can be encrypted automatically, right? I think it could lead to misunderstanding.

I believe waiting is a different type of waste, the question is more focused on the unnecessary movements causing inefficiencies.

But wouldn't waiting also be a waste in this case?

I agree with Jose, motion waste is about unnecessary movements that can be reduced.

I see your point, Filiberto. It does make sense to organise work to reduce unnecessary movement.

That's a good point, but I still believe it's motion waste as described in the question.

But could it also be transportation waste? Moving things around too much adds no value.
TE

Yes, I agree. Motion waste refers to unnecessary movement of people or items.
