While walk through a job site I observed workers coming to this table looking for stuff. They would spend sometimes 10 minutes searching through the boxes. I did not see it on this walk, but I am sure at some point soon after my walk the general contractor demanded that they move this table. How much time do you think they would spend moving it? This is the Muda of inventory, movement (treasure hunts) and if they have to move the table it will also be the Muda of transportation. It uses resources but produces not value - that’s Muda.
This is my Muda Walk story – what is yours?
