Which type of process waste actually has two forms?
  1. Muri, which deals with demand.
  2. Muda, which deals with value-adding wastes.
  3. Mura, which is unevenness in work demand.
  4. Lean waste, which is found through process improvement.
Explanation
Answer: B - Muda waste actually has two forms. Type 1 is necessary, non-value-adding waste. Type 2 is unnecessary, non-value-adding waste. Muri is having a greater demand than capacity at any given time or overburdening the process. Mura is the unevenness in work and demand flow. Continuous process improvement includes a focus on the processes of the organization where non-value-added activities are eliminated.
