The question
A working session built around a process you know well — a production line, a software pipeline, a service workflow, a meeting cadence. The first sub-unit gives you the seven wastes Ohno identified at Toyota — overproduction, waiting, transport, over-processing, inventory, motion, defects — and asks you to find at least three of them in your own work. The second walks the most misread idea in the system, Just-in-Time, separating the discipline from the parodied goal of zero inventory. The third has you find one specific waste in your own process and name what would have to change upstream to eliminate it rather than buffer against it.
Outcome
You leave with the seven wastes named, at least three found in your own work, and one specific waste traced to its upstream cause with a concrete change that would eliminate it rather than buffer against it.
