Details of MURA, MURI & MUDA:

MURA	MURI	MUDA
Unevenness, Discrepancy, Irregular	Unreasonableness, Strain, Overdoing, Overburdened	Unusefulness, Waste.
Any variation leading to unbalanced situations.	A system, facility, or process designed beyond the physical capacities of equipment/ workforce	Activities which does not add value.

MUDA: Waste, Unusefulness;

An any activities that do not add value w.r.t the customer perspective, presently in industry; elimination of waste (MUDA) is the big challenge. Many lean tools are there that you can implement it to deduce the MUDA. Value stream mapping is the one of the popular tools that basically used in many industries. But the identification of waste is a big job. The common 7 wastes are;

Defects: The Defective product is total waste.
Overproduction: Production more than demand or less than demand is a loss.
Over Processing: Rework, Repair, Rechecking is a waste of time and money.
Waiting: Waste of time, and money.
Moving: The movement of goods within or outside is waste.
Inventory: Unfinished goods, R/M, BOP add no value.
Transportation: Unnecessary transfer of goods is waste.

Considering with above points we have prepared a sample MUDA Checklist for your ready reference. DOWNLOAD the MUDA Check sheet.

MURA: Unevenness, Discrepancy, Irregular;

MURA can exist when the workflow is out of balance.

MURI: Unreasonableness, Strain, Overdoing, Overburdened;

A system, facility, or process designed beyond the physical capacities of equipment/ workforces.

How to eliminate 3MUs?

The MURA (Unbalanced Process) can lead to an overburden on the workforce or equipment which may cause later on all kinds of non-value-added activities (MUDA). So to eliminate the 3MUs you have to give more focus on Value stream mapping, Process layout design, and 5’S, Visual standard, Kaizen, Process feasibility analysis, and Process variation.

Example:

You can audit your respective area by using our 3MU-MUDA Check Sheet, Similarly, we have done this in the manufacturing unit and found some observations, same mentioned in below for your easy understanding.

We have taken some initiatives against the above findings (Observation) to eliminate the MUDA in the process as;

Observations	Management Initiative
Producing defective product	TQM, QA
The Nonsmooth flow of materials	KANBAN, JIT, PPC
Rework-0.5%	TQM, QA
Excessive B/D	TPM
Excess Production	Pull Production, PPC
FG Stock-High	Inventory Management, World class Supply chain Management
