# Resource Waste Audit

In manufacturing, Toyota identified seven categories of waste. They apply equally to knowledge work — with a different surface appearance but the same underlying structure. The goal is to find where resources are consumed without producing value.

## The Seven Wastes in Knowledge Work

| Waste | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| **Waiting** | Idle time between steps — work blocked pending a decision, review, or dependency |
| **Overproduction** | Producing more than is needed — reports no one reads, features no one uses |
| **Rework** | Fixing what should have been right — re-doing work due to unclear requirements or poor handoffs |
| **Duplication** | The same work being done in two places — parallel efforts, re-discovered knowledge |
