Your proposals should be realistic, feasible, and consider the impact on other parts of the process and the organization as a whole. \n <\/div> \n <div class=\"textarea-field-content form-field-content\"> \n  <div class=\"form-group\"> <label> Propose changes to eliminate overproduction <\/label> <textarea placeholder=\"Something will be typed here...\" rows=\"3\" disabled class=\"form-control\"><\/textarea> \n  <\/div> \n <\/div> \n <div class=\"textarea-field-content form-field-content\"> \n  <div class=\"form-group\"> <label> Propose changes to reduce waiting time <\/label> <textarea placeholder=\"Something will be typed here...\" rows=\"3\" disabled class=\"form-control\"><\/textarea> \n  <\/div> \n <\/div> \n <div class=\"textarea-field-content form-field-content\"> \n  <div class=\"form-group\"> <label> Propose changes to eliminate unnecessary transportation <\/label> <textarea placeholder=\"Something will be typed here...\" rows=\"3\" disabled class=\"form-control\"><\/textarea> \n  <\/div> \n <\/div> \n <div class=\"textarea-field-content form-field-content\"> \n  <div class=\"form-group\"> <label> Propose changes to reduce excessive inventory <\/label> <textarea placeholder=\"Something will be typed here...\" rows=\"3\" disabled class=\"form-control\"><\/textarea> \n  <\/div> \n <\/div> \n <div class=\"textarea-field-content form-field-content\"> \n  <div class=\"form-group\"> <label> Propose changes to eliminate defects <\/label> <textarea placeholder=\"Something will be typed here...\" rows=\"3\" disabled class=\"form-control\"><\/textarea> \n  <\/div> \n <\/div> \n <div class=\"textarea-field-content form-field-content\"> \n  <div class=\"form-group\"> <label> Propose changes to eliminate over-processing <\/label> <textarea placeholder=\"Something will be typed here...\" rows=\"3\" disabled class=\"form-control\"><\/textarea> \n  <\/div> \n <\/div> \n <div class=\"textarea-field-content form-field-content\"> \n  <div class=\"form-group\"> <label> Propose other changes to eliminate waste <\/label> <textarea placeholder=\"Something will be typed here...\" rows=\"3\" disabled class=\"form-control\"><\/textarea> \n  <\/div> \n <\/div> \n<\/section> \n<section id=\"approval-proposed-changes\"> \n <h2>Approval: Proposed Changes<\/h2>\n <div class=\"approval-content\"> \n  <div class=\"header\"> \n   <div class=\"list-title\">\n    Will be submitted for approval:\n   <\/div> \n  <\/div> \n  <div class=\"approval-rule-subject-tasks-list\"> \n   <ul class=\"list\"> \n    <li> \n     <div class=\"approval-rule-subject-tasks-list-item\"> \n      <div class=\"item\"> \n       <div class=\"container\"> <span class=\"title\">Map out the current state of the process<\/span> \n        <div class=\"body\">\n         Will be submitted\n        <\/div> \n       <\/div> \n      <\/div> \n     <\/div> <\/li>\n    <li> \n     <div class=\"approval-rule-subject-tasks-list-item\"> \n      <div class=\"item\"> \n       <div class=\"container\"> <span class=\"title\">Identify all points of waste in the current process<\/span> \n        <div class=\"body\">\n         Will be submitted\n        <\/div> \n       <\/div> \n      <\/div> \n     <\/div> <\/li> \n   <\/ul> \n  <\/div> \n <\/div> \n<\/section> \n<section id=\"design-the-future-state-of-the-process\"> \n <h2>Design the future state of the process<\/h2>\n <div class=\"text-content\">\n   In this task, you will design the future state of the process based on the proposed changes.
