Meetings are becominng source for MUDA if focus and objectives are not maintained. Especially for Top Management longer meetings too frequently will almost always become overhead. In the spirit of Agile and Lean whenever possible stand-up meetings should be encouraged. The prepartion and punctuality for the attendees should be mandatory. Also the target audience for the meeting should be exactly what it takes to solve the agenda in question. As much as possible should avoid observers and non participants from the irrelevant meetings. I am not sure how much percentage MUDA is contributed by meetings irrespective of the level of employees, but surely there could be large scope of MUDA reduction my limiting the meetings’ time.
