The recurring problem is so prevelent in fact, one Construction Professional addressed it in a recent Plan-Do-Check-Adjust project. Every Construction Manger in the company marked this scenario as an example of motion waste. Walking to printers and fax machines, excessive clicking, or searching for supplies in a messy cabinet are all examples of wasted motion. This website uses cookies in order to work correctly.

Identify & Eliminate Waste; Respect for People.

Most often its the Construction Manger, who can spend up to an hour at the end of the day straightening the jobsite. Another example I’ve observed is a lot of up and down, whether on scaffolding, ladders, or steps, to get tools, materials, or talk to a person. If you have to constantly go out of your way or strain yourself to find a tool or item, or it takes longer than it should to move from step one to two you are hitting the waste of motion. To move and not add value is called motion. Regardless, a start packet with missing documents causes the Construction Team headaches — from cycle time delays, to frustrated Building Partners to failed inspections. When a crew leaves behind lunch trash, wrappers, cups, spit bottles, unused material, and miscellaneous scraps, someone is going to have to come in behind them and clean it up. There’s not only a motion waste involved, but a lot of dollars wasted replacing the material.

Sometimes its the Sales Professional, who hurriedly scoops most things up into a single pile before a prospective buyer steps onto the homesite. Motion takes time and adds no value to the product or service. When this happens, the Construction Manager scrambles after paperwork blowing across the jobsite.

This will remove clutter and organize the workspace. From this information, you can work to make the process more efficient.

•  Searching for equipment or tools They take a beating, and the Construction Manger has to take time every single day to put them back up, make repairs and, ultimately, pull them up and replace them. It can — and has on many occasions — impacted cycle time. If you have any questions, please contact us at one of the methods below: FREE CONSULTATION:  https://calendly.com/jwholbus.

It can take him 30 minutes just to find the sewer cap, and that’s providing he notices the error before the inspector arrives.

And if an accidental rip does occur, take the time to repair it themselves. If the route is optimized, the picker will pick the items using the shortest possible route. •  Reaching or walking excessive distances.

After waiting all morning for the county inspector to arrive, the Construction Manager makes a quick trip to another jobsite. In our system, we were experiencing a breakdown in Production providing a complete Start Packet to Construction when the job was released. To move and add value is called work. Like the example before it, just watch your step… please. For example, in a warehouse, if a picker gets a list of items to pick but doesn’t have the locations of the items they will wander around the warehouse until they find the items. The second way is to conduct time studies to see what activities are taking the longest to complete. Change ). 7. Trucks run over them. That time wasted could be avoided if Building Partners walking across the slab would just watch where they step. •  Additional documentation or data entry

Again, when a Building Partner doesn’t fully complete his job, it’s up to the next Building Partner to take time out of his schedule to finish it — or worse, work around it.

I was curious…how much of the overall labor content in a home would you estimate is just motion waste? To add to your observation, we see Building Parnters constantly go back and forth to their truck to get tools, materials and supplies.

And sometimes it’s the Homeowners on either side of the jobsite, who have trash blown into their yard and bushes. Motion is one of the 7 Types of Waste and honestly one of the most common examples of waste on our jobsites. I’m continuing the series next month with Waiting Waste.

No one seems to respect the blue prints.

There are two tools that should be used to reduce motion waste.

The Construction Manager has to check and recheck that there are no cuts or holes in the visqueen and it takes time to tape those holes shut again. Motion waste runs rampant in an ineffective or inefficient process. Motion may never be eliminated from a process but it should be minimized as much as possible.

I appreciate all your support, Tim. The silt fence is hard to miss.” Still, those fences get run over, trampled,  and materials thrown on top of them like they’re, well, not even there. This problem was even addressed in a recent Plan-Do-Check-Adjust project.
