5. Waiting

This type of waste occurs when one entity is dependent on information from another entity and as a result cannot complete its work.

Examples for Waiting in the Office

Persistent inquiries, far too many emails and many meetings make it necessary to repeatedly familiarize yourself with the same business cases.
An application cannot be processed because not all documents or all of the required information is available. As a result, the processing restarts repeatedly.
Too many interfaces in the process.
Too many media breaks in the process: software or program change. •Arriving late in meetings.
