In plain English
Waste is anything you spend time or money on that doesn't actually make your product better or serve your customer. TIMWOODS is a simple checklist of the eight kinds of waste that hide in every workplace. Once you can name them, you start seeing them everywhere.

Why it matters to your business
Most businesses run at 30–60% 'value-adding' time — the rest is waste. Removing waste is the cheapest capacity you'll ever find: no new staff, no new machines, just less time and money leaking out of the day.
Everyday example
Staff walk to the back store for cups every few orders (Motion). Ten coffees get made ahead and go cold when the rush stalls (Overproduction). Customers wait while one person does everything at the till (Waiting). Wrong orders get remade (Defects). None of that is anyone's fault — it's the layout and flow. Fix those and the same team serves more people, calmer.
