This research is Descriptive – Analysis scientific and measurable. The research of statistic society of all of mangers, bosses and administer or specialists of product affairs and product ported of tested company are 650 (people). The capacity of sample statistic is equal of 40 that, is selected by class accidental sampling. The methods of gathering of information in this research are documentary, observing, interview and questionnaire. Also designed on the basis of 5 selection Likert scale. For admissibility of measurement in application, researcher used the admissibility depend on the content. The Cronbach was equal =0.81 and it has enough credit. In this research the effective factors on the existence of waste time in collection of material, machinery, tools and human strength are examined on four product system working shop company that involve operatory, enginery, assemble and paintining. The hypotheses of this research are analyzed by one way variance analyses of statistic test. The result showed that the waste time of collection of material, machinery and human strength does have any effect on product System of Company but it has effect on tools collections. Key words: Waste time, Product system, Material collection, Machinery collection, Tools collection and Human strength collection. Introduction As more manufacturers struggle with global markets, competition from low-cost countries and faltering home economies, the attention of many manufacturers has naturally turned to operational costs and waste reduction [19]. The typical approach taken in the past when studying improvement opportunities has been to focus on the manufacturing processes, or the value-added process steps [2]. Conner [2] reported that when lead-time was examined, the two percentages of 470 all energies are spent trying to improve the value-added component of the lead-time, and then the improvement to lead- time would be only 2.5 per cent. Waste can be defined as anything other than the minimum amount of resources which are absolutely essential to add value to the product. Conner [2] defined waste as anything other than the minimum amount of equipment, materials, parts, space, and workers’ time, which are absolutely essential to add value to the product or service. In terms of cost, waste refers to any incurred costs such as inventory, set-up, scrap, and rework that do not add to the value of the product [20]. Flinchbaugh, [8] argued that any goal beyond delivering the right product to the right customer at the right time at the right price is waste. From the perception of end users, waste is internal and external resources that are consumed without adding value to the customers [5]., i.e. if a customer is not willing to pay for them, then their existence is considered a waste. This means that the different types of wastes threaten many facets of performance of the company that customers may value. A systematic and continuous identification and elimination of waste can lead to increased efficiency, improved productivity and enhanced competitiveness. Generally, companies that work towards the elimination of waste in their manufacturing processes realize the following benefits: lower raw material stock and associated holding cost, reduced work-in-process, and lower finished goods inventories; higher levels of product quality; increased flexibility and ability to meet
