Waste of overprocessing (April 18th, 12:56):

The waste of overprocessing refers to working items beyond the specifications required by the customer or conducting steps that are not necessary. For example, a part may require a certain tolerance or finish. Continuing to work on the part after it reaches acceptable limits is a form of overprocessing. Putting three coats of paint on when two are sufficient to meet quality standards is another example.
