More raw materials and energy consumed in making the unnecessary products
Extra products may spoil or become obsolete requiring disposal
• Extra hazardous materials used result in extra emissions, waste disposal, worker exposure, etc.
• More packaging to store work-in-process (WI?)
• Waste from deterioration or damage to stored WIP
• More materials needed to replace damaged WIP
• More energy used to heat, cool, and light inventory space
• More energy use for transport
• Emissions from transport
• More space required for WIP movement, increasing lighting, heating, and cooling demand and energy consumption
• More packaging required to protect components during movement
• Damage and spills during transport
• Transportation of hazardous materials requires special shipping and packaging to prevent risk during accidents
• Raw materials and energy consumed in making defective products
• Defective components require recycling or disposal
• More space required for rework and repair, increasing energy use for heating, cooling, and lighting
• More parts and raw materials consumed per unit of production
• Unnecessary processing increases wastes, energy use, and emissions
• Potential material spoilage or component damage causing waste
• Wasted energy f173m heating, cooling, and lighting during production downtime
