� <strong>The</strong> Utility Steward’s main tasks were to sweep and mop<br />

the different kitchens and to replenish the chemicals and<br />

paper towels in different back-of-house areas of the hotel.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Stewards at the different outlets were underutilized<br />

and had over 50% travel time.<br />

� WORK REALLOCATION: By reassigning the sweeping<br />

and mopping of the kitchens to the outlet Stewards waste<br />

was reduced and unnecessary travel was eliminated.<br />

OVERPRODUCTION REDUCED THROUGH THE<br />

REMOVAL OF UNNECESSARY PROCESS STEPS<br />

� OVERPRODUCTION: Due to a combination of<br />

scheduling too many people and the ingrained habits of a<br />

workforce accustomed to an older dish-machine that<br />

required all plates to be rinsed excessively.<br />
