So we learn about Muda on the previous slide, Muda was non value added activities. 2
The second broad category of waste is Mura, Mura is the variation which leads to unbalanced situation. 3
What does that mean 4
is that your work goes up and down with time. 5
There is a monthly report to be published. 6
And then everyone is rushing towards that. 7
And then for the next three days there's nothing much to do that unbalance leads to waste. 8
Most of the times people understand what we talked in Muda.Muda is more widely understood because 9
that's non-value added people can understand that easily. Mura and Muri is something which probably 10
people do not understand very clearly. 11
Mura is any unevenness in your processes where your load goes up, load goes down suddenly that needs 12
to be taken care of you need to balance your work. 13
You need to balance your production. 14
You have one demand from client everyone is jumping and then for next few days nothing is happening. 15
You are looking for one particular model to be produced now and now and then after that you don't know 16
what to do. 17
So that needs to be balanced because that unbalance leads to waste of resources so that is Mura. 18
So Mura exists when your workflows are out of balance and your workload is inconsistent. 19
Your customer demand goes up and down, the customer might be internal, customer might be external the 20
demand goes up and down and with that your work load goes up and down. 21
So this is the second type of Waste which is Mura which is because of unevenness or the unbalanced 22
situation. 23
Let's move onto the next slide and look at the third type of Waste which is Muri.
