MUDA
The Japanese word for “Waste” or “Useless”.
Whenever we see MUDA we must seek to eliminate or reduce as much as possible.

MURI
The Japanese word for “Strain” or “Overburdened”.
If people, equipment or software are unable to cope with a heavy workload, this also results in waste being created and we should beware of reducing this almost invisible kind of problem from the workplace.

MURA
The Japanese word for “Uneveness” or “Variability”.
If workload has peaks and troughs, there will be increasing demands on the process caused by famine and feast. This again is often accepted as “just the way it is”. all efforts mut be made to synchronise, level and flow the process.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
