Elimination of waste has been the focus of beverage industries in Nigeria and in so many parts of the world. A lot of tools have been employed in the analysis and reduction of waste without the in-depth studies of the origin of these wastes. This present work carried out in-depth studies on the cause of waste in the beverage industry concentrating on canned beverages. Primary data were collected from a beverage industry, assessment of the production line and packaging section were carried out and the managers and employee were interrogated so as to obtain information used for this research. The data were analysed using the Pareto principle and the information obtained was used to design the current and future state mapping of the industry. The Pareto chart shows that production line and distributors constitute more than 90 % of the channel of waste while the in-house and transit waste constitute less than 10 %. The future state mapping proposed a reduction in the manpower from 17 to 12 which represents 29.41 % reduction and this will go a long way to affect the industries annual expenditure. The lead time was also reduced by 15 seconds, although this time seems small, the accumulation of this time is a whole lot in production.
