**************** The 2012 Muda Walk for a Month
is Coming
The 6th Annual Muda Walk for a Month is coming this
September.
A basic principle of Lean is “Go and See”. We all know this, but don’t practice it
enough. The Muda Walk for a Month
is a unique opportunity to do put “Go & See” into practice. During September I will email
participants the weekly theme to use while doing a Muda (waste) walk in their
company. The walk may be at a job site, in the shop, office or even a service
truck. During the walk, participants will look for ways to eliminate waste and
improve operations. The Muda Walk
challenge is to do a walk at least one hour a week and best if it is one hour
each day. That may sound like a
hard commitment to make, but those who invested the time in past years have
reaped useful rewards. I do ask
that participants log problems and improvements, and share them with me at the
end of the month.
