Applying Lean principles in SCM

7 Wastes:
1. Overproduction - sharing the links of the folders containing latest version rather than sending the latest document thru emails
2. Waiting Time - Notification of check in, check out
3. Defects - Always the use of latest version (system not allowing wrong naming convention to be entered)
4. Overprocessing - Automation of : status accounting, configuration audits, Archiving of the old files
5. Transportation - Folder structure (storing files) , naming convention, indexing (path of files), sending links of folder containing latest version,
6. Inventory - status accounting and Indexing ( can be automated)
7. Motion - Indexing of files will help in searching of files, creating shortcuts / links to he files & folders
