I thought overdelivering was a good thing, though?

Wait, are we sure it's not overprocessing?

I’m a bit confused; could inventory also relate to having too much stock? But I think overproduction fits better.

I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before, and overproduction was definitely mentioned as a type of waste.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about overprocessing being related to unnecessary steps.

I think the answer is overproduction because it’s about making more than what the customer needs right now.

Overdelivering, really? I don't think that's considered a type of waste in Lean. Hmm, I'm leaning towards overproduction, but I want to double-check my notes to be sure.

Overprocessing? No, wait, that's not right. Let me think... Overproduction, that's the one that fits the description of producing more than required. Okay, I've got this.

Overproduction, that's the one! I remember learning about that in my Lean training. Gotta avoid making more than the customer wants at the moment.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure on this one. I know Lean focuses on reducing waste, but I can't quite remember the specific types off the top of my head. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure this is overproduction - producing more than the customer needs right away. That's a classic example of waste in Lean.

Overproduction - the classic case of 'build it and they will come.' Spoiler alert: they probably won't, at least not right away.

Overdelivering? Really? I'd expect that from a company trying to impress, not a Lean operation. I'm sticking with A, Overproduction.

Hmm, I'm torn between C and D. But I think Inventory is the more accurate answer here. Holding onto unnecessary stock is a classic Lean no-no.

Actually, the correct answer is C) Inventory. It's about holding onto unnecessary stock.

I think it's A) Overproduction. Producing more than needed is definitely a waste.

I'm going with B - Overprocessing. Doing more than the customer requires is just as much a waste as producing too much, if not more so.

Overproduction, definitely. Lean is all about producing only what the customer needs, when they need it. Anything more is just a waste of resources.

Inventory can also be a waste if it's more than what the customer needs.
