Muda Walk tips


Tips for doing better Muda walks based on feedback from previous walks
o      Involve more people so they can become aware of waste in the construction business.
o      Tell employees in advance you will be doing the walk, why and that you want their opinions
o      Do training for these in the company who will be doing the walk on how to conduct a Muda walk.
o      Set up a MUDA blog page on your company website.
o      Have the entire company participated.
o      Involve the others in the department in suggesting problem areas in their world that might tip us off to a small, or maybe larger, area for potential improvement.
