Are the cart overloaded? Actually No! Then what went wrong?

When we saw the above turned-up donkey cart. We quickly assume that the cart is overloaded. Obsoletely the chart not turned up because of overloaded. Then what would be a core reason? refer below details.

Often used Japanese terms in the Industrial Engineering concept

1. Mura ( 斑)= Uneven loading.

2. Muri (無理) = Overburden.

3. Muda (無駄)= Waste

Causes of cart turned up

The load was not distributed properly on the donkey cart. The maximum load was kept on the backside. This caused uneven load. This is called “Mura”. Subsequently, the "Mura" led the cart to turn up. This situation created an overburden to the pulling donkey. The overburden is called “Muri”.  At last lost, the event ends up in obstacle. No movement or flow to add value to transporting. This becomes a waste. The waste is called “Muda”

Note: Many times the same situations occurring in the day to day activities. We have to check the work load distribution among the employees. This may helps to understand the real situation. Here, the work load has to be allocated based the capability of the people. We have assign right work to right person or we have to develop them and assign. These can be eventually help to improve. 

Conclusion:

Process analysis we often assumed incorrect root cause. we have to apply the 360-degree analysis for the absolute cause.
