What makes defects so costly?

Defects waste compound because they trigger other wastes.

  • Each error requires rework (more motion, processing)
  • Wrong medications may need disposal (inventory waste)
  • Corrections delay other work (waiting waste)

This is why defects are called "the king of wastes"—they multiply.
