*'''{{wasteprov|Motion}}''': The longer and more convoluted a contract is the longer it takes to read, understand, comment on and conclude. All other things being equal, any unnecessary formal complexity will add time and effort to the job. Short, utilitarian, Spartan contracts. Easy to handle.

*'''{{wasteprov|Defects}}''': Products that don’t work as billed and which may require replacement or re-tooling. Consider the factors that lead to defects: complexity in the product design and manufacturing process. Which is more likely to break down, and what would you rather fix: a Range Rover Evoque, or a 1982 [[Toyota Hilux]]? | *'''{{wasteprov|Defects}}''': Products that don’t work as billed and which may require replacement or re-tooling.

===On machines, humans, and the relations between=== | |||
Here is wisdom, taken directly from the Toyota site: | |||
:''Machines and robots do not think for themselves or evolve on their own. Rather, they evolve as we transfer our skills and craftsmanship to them. In other words, craftsmanship is achieved by learning the basic principles of manufacturing through manual work, then applying them on the factory floor to steadily make improvements. This cycle of improvement in both human skills and technologies is the essence of Toyota's [[jidoka]].<ref>Literally, “automation with a human touch”.</ref> ''Advancing [[jidoka]] in this way helps to reinforce both our manufacturing competitiveness and human resource development''. | |||
