The 7 Wastes of Production
Taiichi Ohno defined the 7 types of waste that describe all activity that adds cost but not value. In a Lean Enterprise these 7 types of “Muda” are the target of an endless pursuit of waste elimination. Learning to see “Muda” all around you is the key to starting out on your journey of transforming your organization into a Lean Enterprise.
