Muri is a Japanese word meaning "unreasonableness; impossible; beyond one's power; too difficult; by force; perforce; forcibly; compulsorily; excessiveness; immoderation", [1] and is a key concept in the Toyota Production System (TPS) as one of the three types of waste (muda, mura, muri).
In manufacturing, andon (Japanese: アンドン or あんどん or 行灯) is a system which notifies managerial, maintenance, and other workers of a quality or process problem. The alert can be activated manually by a worker using a pullcord or button or may be activated automatically by the production equipment itself.
The other types are known by the Japanese terms mura ("unevenness") and muri ("overload"). [2] Waste in this context refers to the wasting of time or resources rather than wasteful by-products and should not be confused with waste reduction.
