Muri Mura is a Japanese term that translates to "overburden" and "unevenness." It refers to the wasteful practices in production processes, where resources are either overused or misallocated. This concept is often discussed in the context of Lean Manufacturing, which aims to improve efficiency by eliminating waste. In the context of Lean principles, addressing Muri Mura helps organizations streamline operations and enhance productivity. By identifying and reducing overburden and unevenness, companies can create a more balanced workflow, leading to better resource management and improved overall performance.
