His notion of doing this was to eliminate waste. To Ohno, however, waste has a special meaning. It means anything that does not add value to the customer. According to Lean Software Development: An Agile Toolkit, \u201cA part that is sitting around waiting to be used is waste. Making something that is not immediately needed is waste. Motion is waste. Transportation is waste. Waiting is waste. Any extra processing steps are waste. And of course defects are waste.\u201d Think about that for a moment and think about all the activities your organization does on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/devops-waste-ron-vincent\/?published=t\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\">Read the full post on Ron\u2019s LinkedIn profile here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the great things we\u2019ve learned from applying Lean to software development and operations is the notion of eliminating waste is our processes.
