Summary:The aim of the article was to use HFMEA-Fuzzy modeling to evaluate the eight lean wastes and identify critical processes related to them. To achieve this, data was collected from an Emergency Care Unit (ECU) in Rio de Janeiro. The results showed that the Processing/Creativity waste was the most frequent, followed by Defects, Waiting/Inventory, and Overproduction waste. Additionally, it was possible to identify critical processes related to each waste and suggest improvements to reduce or eliminate these wastes.
