Muda.
Mura.
Muri.

3-Types Of Waste
This acronym shows all seven types of waste other than the last one, which was the underutilization of people and machines.
Defects.
Overproduction.
Waiting.
Non-utilized talent.
Transportation.
Inventory.
Motion.
Extra-processing.

4-Defects Waste
Refer to a product that deviates from the standards of its design or from the customer’s expectation.

5- Overproduction Waste
when manufacturing a product or an element of the product before they are required by the next downstream process, overproduction occurs.

Waiting may also trigger additional waste in the form of defects if the waiting triggers a flurry of activity to “catch up” that results in standard work not being followed or shortcuts being taken.

In accounting, inventory is seen as an asset and oftentimes suppliers give discounts for bulk purchases.
Inventory is considered a form of waste because of the related holding costs.
That is why Over purchasing or poor forecasting and planning can lead to inventory waste also it is a signal a broken or poorly designed process link between manufacturing and purchasing/scheduling

10-Motion Waste
All unnecessary motion results in non-value-added time and increases cost. That is why Tasks that require excessive motion should be redesigned to enhance the work of personnel and increase the health and safety levels
