इस एपिसोड के बारे में
In Chapter 1 of our February Flow vs Friction series, we examine two Lean wastes that often travel together: Defects and Overprocessing.
When outcomes fail to meet expectations, teams respond by adding reviews, controls, and extra steps. But those steps don’t fix the root cause — they compensate for it.
In this episode, we explore:
Why defects are usually clarity issues, not capability issues
How overprocessing emerges as a reaction to uncertainty
Why waste compounds instead of appearing alone
How to restore flow by removing ambiguity at the source
This conversation reframes defects and overprocessing not as people problems, but as system design issues.
