Earlier we looked at three broad categories of Wastes which were Muda, Mura and Muri. When we talked about 2
Muda which was non value added activities. 3
The waste because of that we said that in that there are Seven Types of Wastes in Muda or let's learn 4
about those Seven Types of Muda's here. 5
These were defined by Taiichi Ohno as a part of Toyata production system. 6
TIMWOOD means T for Transportation Waste, I for Incentary Waste, Motion Waste, Waiting Time, Over- Processing, Over 7
Production and Defects. 8
So you could look at the first letter of each of these. 9
This can be abbreviated as TIMWOOD. In addition to these seven wastes there is 10
eighth type of waste also which was later introduced . 11
But let's learn about these Seven Types of Wastes first. Starting with Transposition Waste on the next 12
slide.
