Waste is seen in many different forms in manufacturing. Some of these wastes include physical, time and talent.

在生产中，浪费以多种形式出现，包括：物质上的浪费、时间上的浪费，与人才上的浪费。

Physical waste is anything that is left over from the process that has to be discarded, recycled or sold. For every process, there is an expected amount of waste that is unavoidable. However, the waste that we will focus on is the excess waste that is produced because of equipment or process reliability issues. There are many processes that are a one-shot process, where if it is interrupted during the process, all of the materials become waste.

物质上的浪费，是指在流程中遗留下来但却必须丢弃、回收，或出售的所有东西。对于每一个流程而言，预想中的浪费数额都是无法避免的。然而，我们关注的浪费是由设备或工艺可靠性问题所引起的过多浪费。许多工艺都是绝无仅有的，如果在过程中出现中断，所有的物料都会变成浪费。

Time waste also directly relates to equipment and process reliability. Any time that the system is down for unplanned maintenance, that means there is extra time required to make up the work, idle manpower and manpower required to correct the deficiency. In many cases, the extra time required to make up the work falls into overtime or extra shifts.

时间上的浪费，也直接与设备及工艺的可靠性有直接的关联。任何时候，系统因为计划外的维修而停下，也就说明需要额外的时间来弥补工作，而弥补不足则需要浪费人力。在许多情况下，弥补工作所需要的额外时间，都是需要加班，或需要安排额外的班次。

Talent waste is the use of time and education to repair or correct process or equipment failures. There will always be the need for the use of talent to fix failures. The real loss is when the failures are preventable and nothing is being done to change the situation. The talent used to fix unnecessary equipment failures can be utilized to improve the process and equipment.

人才上的浪费，是指要用时间和教育来修复/纠正工艺或设备上的故障，总是需要利用人才来修复故障。真正的损失，是设备故障可以预防，却没有采取任何措施去改变状况。让人才去修复不必要的设备故障，可以用来改善工艺和设备。

Any angle from which you look at reliability will reveal that it is a necessary function to be a good steward of resources.

无论从哪个角度看待可靠性，你都会发现，做好资源管理都是一项必要的职责。
