  1. Muda, Muri, Mura The Three Mu’s of Waste www.uttana.com

  2. The Three Mu’s • The Goal of Lean Methodologies is the elimination of Waste. • Classifying Waste is an important step to this. • The Three Mu’s are one way of doing so. • They are Muda, Muri, Mura. www.uttana.com

  3. What are the Three Mu’s • Muda, Muri, Mura are Japanese terms for different kinds of waste. • All three are related to capacity • Translated into English they mean: • Waste (Muda) • Overburden (Muri) • Unevenness (Mura) www.uttana.com

  4. Muda • Muda can be thought of in different ways. • A general way: as any activity that does not add value. • Or, in the context of The Three Mu’s, as a waste of capacity. • This Waste is having a greater capacity than the load on the system. www.uttana.com

  5. Muri • Muri is waste that results when load exceeds capacity. • This excess load may seem necessary in order to finish work or meet deadlines. • However, it often causes errors and defects that require expensive rework. www.uttana.com

  6. Mura • Mura is waste created by a fluctuating work load on a set capacity. • This imbalance causes the errors and defects seen caused by Muri, or the waste of space and energy of Muda. • Mura links these all the Three Mu’s into a related flow. www.uttana.com

  7. Why the Three Mu’s • The purpose of thinking about waste in this way is to create balance. • A balanced workload creates the most efficient and enjoyable work environment. • Use these ideas to look for these wastes in your own operations. www.uttana.com
