Application of 7 Wastes
Introduction
Waste elimination is one of the most effective ways to increase the profitability in Lean application. The 7 wastes originated in Japan, where waste is known as ‘Muda’. ‘The 7 Wastes’ is a tool to further categorize “Muda” and was originally developed as the core of the Toyota Production System.
To eliminate waste, it is important to understand exactly what waste is and where it exists. While products significantly differ between factories, the typical wastes found in manufacturing environments are quite similar. For each waste, there is a strategy to reduce or eliminate its effect on a company, thereby improving overall performance and quality.
