WASTE
INTRODUCTION
Muda is a crucial concept for
businesses, referring to seven types

WHAT IS
MUDA
Muda is a Japanese term for
non-value adding activities.
It's considered waste and
should be eliminated to
improve efficiency. Examples
include overproduction,
waiting, excess inventory,
unnecessary motion, defects,
and unused creativity.
Reducing Muda streamlines
operations, cuts costs, and
improves quality.
Mura and Muri
Muda or waste is one of the most well-
known concepts in Lean manufacturing,
there are two other enemies of Lean that
are just as important to understand: Mura
and Muri. Mura refers to unevenness in
production, while Muri refers to
overburdening workers or equipment
WHY IT
MATTERS
Eliminating MUDA is essential for any
organization to succeed in today's
competitive business environment.
MUDA refers to wasteful activities that

do not add value, such as unnecessary

Types of
muda
The original seven wastes (Muda)
was developed by Taiichi Ohno, the
Chief Engineer at Toyota, as part
of the Toyota Production System
(TPS). The seven wastes are
Transportation, Inventory,
Motion, Waiting, Overproduction,
Overprocessing and Defects. They
are often referred to by the
acronym ‘TIMWOOD’.

THE 8TH MUDA
The 8th waste of non-utilized talent
or ‘Skills’ of workers was later
introduced in the 1990s when the
Toyota Production System was adopted
in the Western world. As a result, the
8 wastes are commonly referred to as
‘TIMWOODS’.

eliminating inventory waste and optimizing their supply chain.
Genral electric reduced assembly time of gas turbine nozzles by 75%

by optimizing the production line and reducing unnecessary movement.
Virginia Mason Medical Center reduced the number of steps in their MRI scheduling
