Lean Concepts "8 Forms of Waste Cause & Effect : How to Eliminate / Reduce Wastes" By SN Panigrahi
Lean Principles
Lean is a business philosophy, not just a tool set or method for improvement. This business philosophy was derived from Toyota experiences and in particular from its Toyota Production System (TPS).
The focus is on reducing waste in all business processes. The result is reduction of cost and lead-time as well as an increase in quality.
The seven wastes originated in Japan, where waste is known as “Muda."
"The seven wastes" is a tool to further categorize “Muda” and was originally developed by Toyota’s Chief Engineer Taiichi Ohno as the core of the Toyota Production System (TPS), also known as Lean Manufacturing.
Lean implementation focuses on Reducing the Seven (now expanded to 8 wastes) types of Waste (or Muda, which is the Japanese word for waste).
The 8th waste added is non-used employee talent (N), so that the 8 wastes can be easily remembered via the mnemonic “DOWN TIME” (Defective Production,Overproduction, Waiting, Non-used Employee Talent (the 8th form), Transportation, Inventory, Motion, and Excessive (Over) Processing)
7 waste in the production
In all reality, there are the production waste. Here I explain the 7 wastes from most towns elliminare. Based on the TPM and Lean Management.

Manufacturing wastes
This document discusses the concepts of value, waste, and lean manufacturing. It defines value-added activities as those that directly change a product to meet customer needs, while non-value added activities are necessary but do not increase value. The main types of waste are identified as muda (non-value added work), mura (unevenness), and muri (overburdening work). Specific examples of muda include transportation, inventory, motion, waiting, overproduction, overprocessing, and defects. The document emphasizes that eliminating waste through lean principles can improve flow and reduce costs for companies.

Elimination of 7 Types of Waste (Muda) - Learning to See - December 2016
Elimination of Waste is one of the first steps in Lean Transformation. Here is a quick description what TPS definition of 7 types of Waste (MUDA) is.
What is Lean manufacturing?
Lean manufacturing is a system aimed at minimizing waste within manufacturing processes. It was developed from the Toyota Production System between 1948-1975. The key principles of lean manufacturing include continuous improvement (kaizen), just-in-time production to reduce waste and inventory, visual management like andon cords to detect issues, and focusing on adding value from the customer's perspective. Implementing lean principles can benefit companies through improved productivity and efficiency, increased quality, and faster delivery, while benefiting employees and customers.
5 Steps to implementing Lean
The document discusses Lean methodology which focuses on eliminating waste to produce high quality products faster and at lower cost. Lean aims to streamline processes through techniques like single piece flow, just-in-time production, and eliminating non-value added activities to improve throughput, quality, and customer satisfaction. Key aspects of Lean covered include value stream mapping, reducing the seven wastes, line balancing, managing bottlenecks, setup reduction, pull systems, and visual management.
Lean Manufacturing Training
This document provides an overview of lean manufacturing training. It defines lean manufacturing as eliminating waste to improve efficiency. Key aspects include identifying value from the customer's perspective, streamlining processes, and producing only what is needed when it is needed. Lean aims to deliver high quality products with minimal costs and resources. The training teaches lean tools and principles to help organizations achieve continuous process improvement. Attendees learn how to recognize and remove waste to enhance productivity, quality, and profits. The goals of lean are to satisfy customers while running operations profitably.
Elimination of 7 types of Waste (MUDA)
One of the fundamental methodologies of TPS (Toyota Production System) which we also know as Lean Transformation is understanding and elimination of 7 types of Waste. This presentation is in introduction to 7 types of Waste.
Lean manufacturing basics
This document provides an introduction to Lean manufacturing concepts. It aims to help readers understand Lean, identify types of waste, and learn Lean tools and techniques. The core idea of Lean is maximizing customer value while minimizing waste. It defines seven types of waste including overproduction, waiting times, transportation, processing, inventory, motion, and defects. It also explains Lean tools and techniques for standardizing work, using visual controls, conducting quick changeovers, implementing total productive maintenance, and empowering self-inspection. The overall goal is to eliminate waste and continuously improve processes to provide value to customers.
Seven wastes of lean operations management
This document discusses the seven wastes of lean operations management as identified by Taiichi Ohno, the father of the Toyota Production System. The seven wastes are overproduction, waiting, transportation, inappropriate processing, excessive inventory, unnecessary motion, and defects. Each waste is defined and the causes and consequences are outlined. The Toyota Production System aims to eliminate waste using a minimum of resources to satisfy customer needs.
History of Lean manufacturing & TPS 14 Principal
The document discusses lean manufacturing principles. It provides an overview of the history of lean thinking from Eli Whitney's development of interchangeable parts in the 1850s to the development of the Toyota Production System between 1945-1970. It then summarizes the 14 principles of the Toyota Way which focus on developing a long-term philosophy, creating continuous process flow, respecting partners and driving organizational learning through reflection and kaizen. The group members of the Productivity Improvement Cell are then listed along with brief definitions of lean, waste and an overview of what makes a system lean.
Muda,Mura & Muri
This document discusses Lean Management and the three types of waste (muda, muri, mura) that Lean aims to eliminate.
1) Lean Management focuses on removing waste and improving flow to provide more value with less work. It is based on the Toyota Production System (TPS).
2) The TPS aims to eliminate muda (waste), muri (overburden), and mura (unevenness). Muda includes unnecessary motions, waiting, transportation, overproduction, and defects.
3) Muri refers to overburdening equipment, facilities, and people. Mura is uneven or inconsistent work processes that create excess capacity.
1 piece flow training
This document discusses lean production methods for 1-piece flow versus batch and queue production. It notes that a bottleneck will always exist in any process, and that bottlenecks can move. It recommends managing a buffer before the bottleneck and avoiding high work-in-process, which can mask the bottleneck. The document also discusses benefits of 1-piece flow such as workers being able to help each other and learn different tasks, and improving bottleneck operations.
Lean manufanturing
This document discusses lean manufacturing. It defines lean manufacturing as a system aimed at eliminating waste from all activities and operations. The goal is to produce products faster, better, and cheaper than competitors while eliminating as much waste as possible. The seven types of waste are then defined: transport, inventory, motion, waiting, overproduction, overprocessing, and defects. Examples are provided for each type of waste.
The 8 Lean wastes
The document defines the eight types of waste in lean manufacturing: defects, overproduction, waiting, non-utilized talent, transportation, inventory, motion, and excess processing. It provides examples and causes of each type of waste. Defects refer to work containing errors. Overproduction is producing more than customer demand requires. Waiting includes idle time when materials, people, or equipment are not ready. Non-utilized talent is not fully using employee skills. Transportation and inventory involve unnecessary movement or storage of materials. Motion includes inefficient movement of people. Excess processing performs steps that do not add value. Eliminating these wastes improves efficiency.

warehouse
Warehouses play an important role in logistics by storing goods prior to distribution. The key functions of a warehouse include receiving, storage, order picking, packaging and shipping. Warehouses must address various operational challenges such as inventory inaccuracy, redundant processes, demand fluctuations, and high labor costs. A warehouse decision model can help identify strategic, tactical and operational needs based on objectives, resources and product characteristics. Emerging warehouse strategies like virtual warehousing use software to provide real-time inventory visibility across distributed storage locations.

Recent trends in operations management include global competition, supply chain management, business process re-engineering, total quality management, lean management, worker involvement, cycle time reduction, technology flexibility, corporate downsizing, and relating production strategy to business strategy.
The key differences between manufacturing and service operations are that manufacturing operations add value through physical production processes using equipment at production sites near suppliers, while service operations intangibly transform consumer inputs through application of labor-based resources located near markets. Manufacturing also requires higher initial investment and has productivity that is easier to measure with tangible outputs.

To educate startup founders and management teams on how to effectively maintain and enhance their products, while also staying agile in their development process. This typically includes information on how to use agile development methodologies such as Scrum, Kanban, and Lean, which are designed to help teams iterate quickly and respond to changing customer needs and market conditions. The session may also cover how to prioritize and plan product enhancements, how to gather and incorporate customer feedback, and how to use data to make informed decisions about product development. The overall goal is to help startups understand how to maintain and improve their products, while also staying nimble and responsive to the ever-changing market conditions and customer needs.
Waste management
Waste in business can take many forms and comes from inefficient processes, activities, and lack of customer focus. The document defines waste as any activity or process that adds costs but no value. It discusses the seven main types of waste - transportation, inventory, motion, waiting, overprocessing, overproduction, and defects. These wastes were pioneered by Taiichi Ohno and can be remembered using the mnemonic "TIM WOOD". Eliminating waste from business processes improves efficiency and reduces costs.
The 8 waste in Lean Manufacturing - Lean Six Sigma Training
Waste is any step or action in a process that is not required to complete a process (called “Non Value-Adding”) successfully. When Waste is removed, only the steps that are required (called “Value-Adding”) to deliver a satisfactory product or service to the customer remain in the process.
In any business, the greatest enemy of profitability is waste-- typically of time or money. In lean manufacturing, waste is any expense or effort that is put forward which does not transform raw materials into an item the customer is willing to pay for. There are 8 types of waste in Lean Manufacturing. Seven of the eight wastes are production process oriented, while the eighth waste is directly related to management’s ability to utilize personnel.

Lean management aims to create more value with fewer resources by eliminating waste throughout the construction project lifecycle. Common causes of construction project cost overruns include design issues, scope changes, mistakes, poor planning, and risk mismanagement. Lean management identifies seven types of waste - waiting, motion, overprocessing, overproduction, transportation, inventory, and corrections. The approach focuses on optimizing the lifecycle through collaboration, continual improvement, and customer satisfaction while eliminating obstacles to value creation.
Introduction to production and production management
Production management involves planning and regulating operations to transform raw materials into finished goods. It aims to produce quality products on schedule and at lower cost. Key aspects include production planning, control, layout, inventory management, and quality control. Production and operations management decisions can be periodic or continual, and include selection of processes, design of goods/services, facilities layout, and supply chain management. The objectives are to maximize performance through efficiency and quality, and minimize costs.

This document provides an overview of logistics elements including packaging and material handling. It discusses the functions and types of packaging, as well as factors to consider in packaging decisions. Material handling involves the physical movement of materials and products within and outside a firm. The objectives are to improve efficiency and quality while reducing costs. Logistics activities ensure timely delivery and include demand forecasting, order processing, inventory control, and transportation. Logistics flow involves inventory flow between suppliers and customers, as well as information flow across the supply chain.
Presentation on Lean Manufacturing and waste elimination
Lean manufacturing aims to maximize value and minimize waste in production. It was developed from Toyota's production system and focuses on eliminating non-value added activities. Key aspects of lean include identifying the value stream to reduce waste, using a pull system triggered by customer demand, cross-training employees to continuously improve processes, and implementing tools like 5S, standard work, and visual controls. The ultimate goal is to provide high quality, low cost products on time with minimal human effort, inventory, and space requirements.

SIC (Short Interval Control) Methodology
SIC (Short Interval Control) is a structured process to regularly review performance data and identify opportunities to improve production effectiveness and efficiency. It involves:
1. Checking performance at short intervals (e.g. daily or every half hour) and making necessary corrections, to prevent small problems from becoming big ones.
2. Controlling process inputs to control outputs and meet goals like increased output, reduced costs and defects.
3. Having team members regularly look back at past performance, plan next actions, and implement plans to continuously improve performance.
The benefits of SIC include increased output, effectiveness, improvement speed, and employee engagement through localized focus and data-driven decision making.
Giving and receiving feedback - the methodology
There is no learning without feedback. Feedback enables a person to improve their performance or to sustain an already effective performance.
Line Crew Optimisation Methodology
Line Crew Optimisation is a process that reviews and optimises the established flow patterns, links process steps in order to minimise cycle times and travel distance, and eliminates crossover points in order to achieve a continuous flow process
RACI Methodology
This document discusses using the RACI methodology to define clear roles and responsibilities. RACI assigns the roles of accountable, responsible, consulted, and informed to activities and decisions. It clarifies who is accountable for ensuring tasks are completed, who is responsible for doing the tasks, who must be consulted, and who must be informed. Developing a RACI chart is a 5-step process that identifies key activities, roles, and assigns responsibilities. Benefits include clarifying accountability, pushing responsibilities to lower levels, eliminating overlaps, and increasing productivity through well-defined roles.

Neurological levels
This document discusses neurological levels and how to create sustainable behavior change. It presents a model showing that behavior is just the visible part of an iceberg, with deeper levels being purpose, identity, beliefs, values, capabilities, and environment. These deeper levels must be addressed to create lasting change. The document advises establishing desire, providing training to build skills, and aligning actions to impact the neurological levels and drive new behaviors. Understanding this model allows one to motivate teams through creating gaps and realize small personal shifts can create large behavior changes.
Living in the present
The document discusses living in the present moment and provides tips to increase presence. It defines the present as "now" rather than the past or future. Most people spend too much time thinking about the past and future rather than being fully engaged in the current moment. To increase presence, one should focus attention on what is happening now without distraction, tune out inner dialogue, and be mindful of thoughts, emotions, and the present sensory experience. Practices like meditation, conscious breathing, and full engagement in current tasks can help anchor one in the present. Being present reportedly increases fulfillment, flow, and stress reduction while enhancing relationships and performance.

Situaltional leadership
Situational leadership proposes that there is no single best leadership style, and that the most effective leaders adapt their style to fit the development level of the individual or group they are leading. It identifies four leadership styles - directing, coaching, supporting, and delegating - that should be applied based on followers' competence and commitment levels. The directing style provides close supervision, coaching involves more explanation and support, supporting emphasizes praise and facilitation, and delegating turns over responsibility. Matching leadership style to followers' stage of development maximizes their performance.
Performance management
Performance management is important to help understand how the individual is performing against expectations and builds organisational capability.
Developing a sustainable CI culture
A ‘Continuous Improvement culture’ is one where both leaders and front line workers constantly drive for improvement, which will be evident from the ‘work habits’

m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge. The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition. The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

The 8 wastes (Muda)
- 1. The 8 Wastes (MUDA) www.optimumfx.com
- 2. 8 Muda
- 3. T- Transport • Moving of products to several location • Whilst product is being transported, it is not being processed, therefore not adding value to the customer • Example: Movement of intermediate product from one area to another to be processed
- 4. I- Inventory • Storage of products, intermediates, raw materials, etc. all cost money. • Example: Large buffer stock within a manufacturing facility and large warehousing on the site; financially seen as a huge use of working capital
- 5. M- Motion • The excessive movement of the people who operate the manufacturing facility is wasteful. • Whilst they are in motion they cannot support the processing of the product. • Example: Operators moving to and from the manufacturing unit but less activity actually within the unit.
- 6. P- People • Under/ over utilising capabilities, delegating work without training • Example: Attendance at management routines
- 7. W- Waiting • As people, equipment or product wait to be processed, it is not adding any value to the customer. • Example: Intermediate product which can’t leave site until the QC tests and paperwork are complete.
- 8. O- Over Production • Product made for no specific customer. • Development of a product for no additional value. • Example: Large batch campaign, continuous large scale manufacturing processes.
- 9. O- Over Processing • When a particular process step does not add value to the product • Example: The duplication of any steps related to the supply chain process, e.g. sampling, checking.
- 10. D- Defect • Errors during the process- either requiring re-work or additional work. • Examples: – Material out of specification; batch documentation incomplete. – Data and data entry errors. – General miscommunication.
Editor's Notes
- Economically large batches of raw material are purchased for large campaigns and sit in the warehouse for extended periods.
