Mura (Japanese term) : ウィキペディア英語版
Mura (Japanese term)

is a Japanese word meaning "unevenness; irregularity; lack of uniformity; nonuniformity; inequality",〔''Kenkyusha's New Japanese-English Dictionary'' (2003), 5th edition, Tokyo: Kenkyusha, p. 2536.〕 and is a key concept in the Toyota Production System (TPS) as one of the three types of waste (''muda'', ''mura'', ''muri''). Waste reduction is an effective way to increase profitability. Toyota adopted these three Japanese words as part of their product improvement program, due to their familiarity in common usage.
Mura, in terms of business/process improvement, is avoided through Just In Time systems which are based on keeping little or no inventory. These systems supply the production process with the right part, at the right time, in the right amount, using first-in/first-out (FIFO) component flow. Just in Time systems create a “pull system” in which each sub-process withdraws its needs from the preceding sub-processes, and ultimately from an outside supplier. When a preceding process does not receive a request or withdrawal it does not make more parts. This type of system is designed to maximize productivity by minimizing storage overhead.
For example:
# The assembly line “makes a request to,” or “pulls from” the Paint Shop, which pulls from Body Weld.
# The Body Weld shop pulls from Stamping.
# At the same time, requests are going out to suppliers for specific parts, for the vehicles that have been ordered by customers.
# Small buffers accommodate minor fluctuations, yet allow continuous flow.

If parts or material defects are found in one process, the Just-in-Time approach requires that the problem be quickly identified and corrected.
== Implementation ==

Production leveling, also called heijunka, and frequent deliveries to customer are key to identifying and eliminating Mura. The use of different types of Kanban to control inventory at different stages in the process are key to ensuring that "pull" is happening between sub-processes. Leveling production, even when different products are produced in the same system, will aid in scheduling work in a standard way that encourages lower costs.
It is also possible to smooth the workflow by having one operator work across several machines in a process rather than have different operators; in a sense merging several sub-processes under one operator. The fact that there is one operator will force a smoothness across the operations because the workpiece flows with the operator. There is no reason why the several operators cannot all work across these several machines following each other and carrying their workpiece with them.〔A study of the Toyota Production System, Shigeo Shingo, Productivity Press, 1989 , p 157〕 This multiple machine handling is called "multi-process handling" in the Toyota Production System.
