7 Wastes of Lean Manufacturing Infographic

One of the foundations of lean manufacturing is to reduce waste.

In the early days of the Toyota Production System (TPS), which is where lean manufacturing originated, Toyota engineer Taiichi Ohno developed a list of seven wastes. You can download a free infographic at the bottom of this article that lists all of these wastes for you, and you might want to check out our online courses for lean manufacturing training.

Note that this infographic is about different kinds of wastes that lean experts refer to as muda, a Japanese word that basically means “waste.” In lean, you also sometimes hear about three different types of waste: muda, mura, and muri. See our Three Types of Waste in Lean (Muda, Mura & Muri) infographic for more about that.
