Rework is one of the most expensive forms of waste in an organization. It occurs when tasks need to be redone due to unclear requirements, poor communication, inconsistent standards, or avoidable mistakes. High rework rates slow progress, increase costs, and damage trust between teams and stakeholders. Tracking and reducing rework provides immediate gains in quality and efficiency. Organizations that fail to address rework end up paying a hidden tax on every project, often without realizing the magnitude of the loss. Strengthening this area improves predictability, customer satisfaction, and team confidence.
