Defining MUDA (Waste) for Mind:

 Inabilities = Muda.

 “ I can not do” =“According to my knowledge ,

my information , my past abilities , I can not do“
Limiting Believe

 The Roots of Limiting Believes are Fears!

Transactional Analysis

(I am OK – You are OK)

TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS

CROSSED COMMUNICATION TRANSACTION

 Stimulus (SUPERVISOR): Jim, I’ve Got Another Press

Down, Get the Work Done on This Press
Immediately, I Don’t Care How You Do It.

 Response (WORKER): I Know What I’m Doing, I Was

Working Here When You Were Still in Grade School!
Note: Completely Ineffective Transaction. Transaction
is Crossed. Each Person Assumes A “Parental” State
and Speaks to The Other Persons “Child”.

TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS

PARALLEL COMMUNICATION TRANSACTION

 Stimulus (SUPERVISOR): Jim, Another Press Just
Went Down, I’m Concerned About Production. How
Long Do You Feel It Will Take to Safely Make Repairs
on This Press?

 Response (WORKER): I Still Have to Replace a Drive

Gear. Should Be About 2 Hours. Is the Other Press a
Higher Priority Than This One?
Note: Each Person Understands The Higher Need.
Behavior Is Consistent With Safe Requirements of the
Job. Transaction Is “Adult” to “Adult” (Optimal)

Our state (the being) influences our behavior (the

doing) which in turn influences the results that
we get in life (the having).
