Overpmduction At Station C, the machinery processes parts faster than can be handled by the remainder of the production line. Thus, materials in progress get stacked in aisles until they are transferred to a storage area. Having excess materials in process is wasteful. An additional result is overly stressful manual material handling and the ergonomic risks that implies. 

Manual material handling tasks must be acceptable to 75% of the female population using the published paper authored by Stover Snook and Vincent Ciriello (Ergonomics, 1991, Vol. 34, No. 9, 1197-1213).
