The seven types of muda are 1 overproduction; 2 waiting, time on hand; 3 unnecessary transport or conveyance; 4 overprocessing or incorrect processing; 5 excess inventory; 6 motion; and 7 defects.
The principles in this section empower employees in spite of the bureaucratic processes of Toyota, as any employee in the Toyota Production System has the authority to stop production to signal a quality issue, emphasizing that quality takes precedence Jidoka. The way the Toyota bureaucratic system is implemented to allow for continuous improvement kaizen from the people affected by that system so that any employee may aid in the growth and improvement of the company.

A recent increase in vehicle recalls may be due, in part, to 'a failure by Toyota to spread its obsession for craftsmanship among its growing ranks of overseas factory workers and managers. Toyota Way has been driven so deeply into the psyche of employees at all levels that it has morphed from a strategy into an important element of the company's culture.
One consequence was when Toyota was given reports of sudden acceleration in its vehicles and the company faced a potential recall situation. There were questions if Toyota's crisis was caused by the company losing sight of its own principles.
