Introduction
Lean waste is a feature used to inform situations that may hinder organizational procedures. This feature is based on the Lean methodology, which ensures greater economy and effectiveness in processes.
As an example, let's imagine that a defect occurs in a product within a sales process. This defect is considered a lean waste, as it will alter the progress of the process by creating stress, rework, and material waste.
However, for this feature to be associated, it is necessary to create the record first.
See the steps to create a lean waste below:
