Introducing Zero Muda
At Toyota Material Handling UK, we use our lean thinking approach to help you on your journey to maximising operational efficiency. We call it Zero Muda, which means Zero Waste. Our aim is to work with you to identify and minimise waste and inefficiencies in your material handling operations, providing a complete range of solutions that deliver long-term value.
Understanding Muda (waste)
We consider waste to be any activity or resource that doesn’t add value. Lean thinking traditionally identifies seven types of waste, but at its core, waste can be understood as lost time, unnecessary effort, or misused resources.
