Definitions of Time Categories:
Total: Time the step takes in calendar hours, days or weeks—and the total of the following six types of time:
1. Processing: Time spent doing it right the first time—a combination of pure value added and non-value added.
2. Waiting: The time spent waiting for other processing to be done during the step.
3. Moving: Time spent in shipment, mail, intra-company mail, etc. (insignificant in this process).
4. Setup: Time it takes to change from processing one product, order, etc., to another.
5. Inspecting: Time spent checking and testing one’s own or another person’s work.
6. Rework: Time spent doing a task over, even if seems like a natural part of the process.
If you have more steps in your process, copy this form and use more pages.
