prosessivieheitä
Prosessivieheitä, a Finnish term, translates to "process waste" or "process losses" in English. It refers to any material or energy that is not converted into a desired product or outcome during an industrial or manufacturing process. These inefficiencies can manifest in various forms, including byproducts, scrap material, emissions, heat loss, or wasted labor and time. Identifying and minimizing prosessivieheitä is a key objective in optimizing operational efficiency, reducing costs, and improving environmental sustainability within industries.
The concept of prosessivieheitä is closely linked to principles of lean manufacturing and process improvement methodologies.
