Muda Elimination (MUD)

Muda or process wastes are activities and outputs in the process that add unnecessary cost, delay delivery and at times worsen quality. Muda exists everywhere (shopfloor, field and office), even in companies that are considered to be world-class. The challenge of continuous improvement (kaizen) is to find muda and eliminate them. Hunting and eliminating muda can be a continuing process involving everyone (management, workers, suppliers and customers).

Muda Elimination Workshop imparts the concept of muda and its adverse effects on the total company business. The workshop will teach how to identify, measure and eliminate process wastes in the context of the continuous improvement philosophy. The participants will be given an opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills learned in an actual muda elimination exercise called Gemba-Kaizen.

Objectives: By the end of the workshop, the participants would have learned or acquired the following: 1.) awareness of kaizen philosophy; 2) ability to qualify process inefficiency; 3) techniques and skills in identifying, measuring and eliminating process wastes; and 4) small test project for a simple muda elimination in the workplace.
