Please, can a Sensei explain the Japanese way to hunt for "Kako sono mono no muda" ? (Unnecessary or incorrect processing)
Man and Machine shall be at least involved, Methods also. I think I'll we be surprised by the answer.
Thanks
Emmanuel

Emmanuel, in many cases we look for muda (waste) as the key factor, but we forget the principles of root-cause analisys. What we should look for is the Mura (unevenness or unbalance). The unbalanced system, suffers overburden and later on start to present aditional wastes.

Emmanuel,
I think all 7 wastes are hunted down by asking why, until you've found the root cause. And who are involved is very much depending on what is happening/the answers you get.

In order to see if a process is needed, ask yourself, "Is this something the customer is willing to pay for?" If what you are doing does not change the Form, Fit, or Function of your produce it is a Non-Value Added process. You may not be able to eliminate all non-value added processes, such as quality inspections, but you can cut back on them.
Try to look at the product instead of the operator. Start at the beginning of the process, and follow the product out the door to the customer. If it sits still, or moves a distance without anything being done to it, then you have waste.
