Your translation of Muda works well but is only a part of the equation when eliminating waste. According to my Japanese Sensei (nickname Joe), there are the other 2 other "M's" in addition to Muda you would want to consdier to make this a more complete approach that collectively describes wasteful practices to be eliminated.

Mura: Unevenness in an operation; for example, an uneven work pace in an operation causing operators or processes to hurry and then wait.

Muri: Overburdening equipment, processes or operators.

Hope this helps - Happy Hunting

Hi guys

Can you please, PLEASE change your feed back to full articles?

Your last five articles have only been syndicated in excerpts, which makes them unreadable in an aggregator :(
