We can classify waste into three broad categories and these are Mora and Mura and Muri and what are these 2
terms. 3
These are Japanese terms. 4
So we will understand each of these three terms one by one. 5
Let's look at the next slide and look at what does Muda means. 6
So on the previous slide we said that there are three broad categories of waste Muda, Mura and Muri. 7
The first thing here is the Muda. 8
Muda in Japanese means unproductive work,work which doesn't add value. 9
So whatever you are doing which is not adding value to that final product which you're delivering to 10
the client wouldn't be considered as Muda. In Muda 11
also there are two types of wastes type 1 Muda and Type Two Muda, type 1 Muda is incidental work. 12
There are some activities in the organization which you do and you understand that these do not add 13
value to the final product. 14
But you still do as a part of business processes. 15
Let's say you keep number of records, you do number of things which you know that it's not adding value 16
to that final product, the piece which you are making in the end. 17
This particular process doesn't add value but you still have to do that for business perspective. 18
That is called as type 1 Muda. 19
You might not be able to immediately eliminate those processes. 20
But think about these and see if there is any other alternative to that. 21
The second type of Muda is type 2 Muda. 22
These are non value added activities, the activities which really do not add value. In this category 23
we have seven types of Wastes. 24
These seven types of wastes were defined by Taiichi Ohno within Toyata production system. We will be looking 25
at each of these seven types of wastes which are abbreviated as TIMWOOD. 26
So these are the seven types of Wastes which you really need to focus on and eliminate them as soon as 27
possible. 28
So whatever process you are doing you would see that in each of your processes you will have one or more 29
of these wastes. 30
Look at that element that thats going to help your organization in saving a lot and lot of money.
