7 Wastes (Muda) Training – Eliminate Waste with Lean Manufacturing
Grupas Gelişim's "7 Wastes" training is grounded in the Lean Manufacturing philosophy and makes visible every activity in your processes that creates no value for the customer. Starting from the Japanese concept of "Muda" (waste/loss), the program addresses the 7 fundamental types of waste – overproduction, waiting, transportation, overprocessing, inventory, unnecessary motion and quality defects (scrap, rework losses) – through concrete examples and their real root causes from the shop floor. In this way, your teams gain a perspective that allows them to recognize and measure waste not only in theory, but on their own lines and in their office and logistics processes.
The training aims to bring the principles of focusing on customer value, eliminating waste and continuous improvement (kaizen) into the everyday language of the business.
