MUDA: any activity in your process that does not add value. MUDA is not creating value for the customer. In short: WASTE Type I muda: Non-value-added tasks which seam to be essential. Business conditions need to be changed to eliminate this type of waste. Type II muda: Non-value-added tasks which can be eliminated immediately.
What is 'Mura'?
MURA: Any variation leading to unbalanced situations. In short: UNEVENNESS, inconsistent, irregular. Mura exists when workflow is out of balance and workload is inconsistent and not incompliance with the standard.
This is a reason to implement OEE and even TPM before trying to create flow through lean initiatives. Why? How can you create flow (= eliminate muda) when machine performance is unstable? Muri experienced by machines, gives rise to Mura in their performance! So: TPM is your basic Mura reduction toolbox. Six Sigma is your Mura (variability) reduction toolbox.
