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.

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.
