W: Wait -- Since some applications required more work than others and these were not separated, the easier applications...

D: Defect -- Since there was originally a large error rate, many applications would have to return to previous processes for re-work.

Identify and describe other Lean tools and techniques your team would have used to further improve the performance of the process.
