Joseph Moses Juran (December 24, 1904 February 28, 2008) was a 20th century management consultant who is principally remembered as an evangelist for quality and quality management, writing several influential books on those subjects. He was the brother of Academy Award winner Nathan H.

 Muri Mura Muda

- Overburden - Unevenness - Waste

Muri,Mura,Muda are traditional Japanese term for an activity that is wasteful and doesn't add value or is unproductive, etymologically none + unuseful in practice or others. It is also a key concept in the Toyota Production System(TPS)

Waste reduction is an effective way to increase profitability.

Muri is a Japanese term for overburden, unreasonableness or absurdity, which has become popularized in the West by its use as a key concept in the Toyota Production System(TPS) .

Muri can be avoided through standardized work. To achieve this a standard condition or output must be defined to assure effective judgment of quality. Then every process and function must be reduced to its simplest elements for examination and later recombination. The process must then be standardized to achieve the standard condition. This is done by taking simple work elements

Work Flow, or logical directions to be taken, Repeatable Process Steps and Machine Processes, or Rational methods to get there, Tact Time, or reasonable lengths of time and endurance allowed for a process.

Heightened employee morale (due to close examination of ergonomics and safety), higher quality, improved productivity, and Reduced costs.

Mura is traditional general Japanese term for unevenness, inconsistency in physical matter or human spiritual condition.

Mura is avoided through Just In Time systems which are based on little or no inventory, by supplying the production process with the right part, at the right time, in the right amount, and first-in, first out component flow. Just in Time systems create a pull system in which each sub-process withdraws its needs from the preceding sub-processes, and ultimately from an outside supplier. When a preceding process does not receive a request or withdrawal it does not make more parts.

The assembly line makes a request to, or pulls from the Paint Shop, which pulls from Body Weld. The Body Weld shop pulls from Stamping. At the same time, requests are going out to suppliers for specific parts, for the vehicles that have been ordered by customers. Small buffers accommodate minor fluctuations, yet allow continuous flow.

This type of system is designed to maximize productivity by minimizing storage overhead.

Muda is a traditional general Japanese term for an activity that is wasteful and doesnt add value or is unproductive, etymologically none + un-useful in practice or others. Muda has been given much greater attention as waste than the other two which means that whilst many Lean practitioners have learned to see muda they fail to see in the same prominence the wastes of mura(unevenness) and muri(overburden).

Overproduction: Overproduction happens

each time you engage more resources than needed to deliver to your customer. For instance, large batch production, because of long change over time, exceeds the strict quantity ordered by the customer. For productivity improvement, operators are not required to produce more than the customer needs. Extra parts will be stored and not sold. Overproduction is the worst muda because it hides or generates all others, especially inventory. Overproduction increases the amount of space needed for storing raw

Unnecessary transportation: Each

time a product is moved it stands the risk of being damaged, lost, delayed, etc. as well as being a cost for no added value. Transportation does not make any transformation to the product that the consumer is supposed to pay for.

Inventory: Inventory, be it in the form of

raw materials, work-in-progress (WIP), or finished goods, represents a capital outlay that has not yet produced an income either by the producer or for the consumer. Any of these three items not being actively processed to add value is waste.

Motion: As compared to Transportation,

Motion refers to the producer, worker or equipment. This has significance to damage, wear and safety. It also includes the fixed assets and expenses incurred in the production.

Defects: Whenever defects occur, extra

costs are incurred reworking the part, rescheduling production, etc.

Over-processing: Over-processing occurs

any time more work is done on a piece than what is required by the customer. This also includes using tools that are more precise, complex, or expensive than absolutely

Waiting: Whenever goods are not in

transport or being processed, they are waiting. In traditional processes, a large part of an individual product's life is spent waiting to be worked on.

An easy way to remember the 7 wastes is TIMWOOD..
