Muda:

Muda is a Japanese word for waste; any activity that consumes resources but creates no value for the customer.

The following seven wastes identify and classify resources which are commonly wasted.
1. Overproduction
2. Unnecessary transportation
3. Inventory
4. Motion
5. Defects
6. Over-Processing
7. Waiting

Package Pilferage:

Pilferage is the theft of part of the contents of a package. It may also include theft of the contents but leaving the package, perhaps resealed with bogus contents. Small packages can be pilfered from a larger package such as a shipping container. Broader aspects of theft may include taking the entire package, pallet load, truck load, shoplifting, etc.

Zombie Computer:

A zombie computer (often shortened as zombie) is a computer attached to the Internet that has been compromised by a hacker, a computer virus, or a trojan horse. Generally, a compromised machine is only one of many in a botnet, and will be used to perform malicious tasks of one sort or another under remote direction. Most owners of zombie computers are unaware that their system is being used in this way. Because the owner tends to be unaware, these computers are metaphorically compared to zombies.
Zombies have been used extensively to send e-mail spam; as of 2005, an estimated 50–80% of all spam worldwide was sent by zombie computers. This allows spammers to avoid detection and presumably reduces their bandwidth costs, since the owners of zombies pay for their own bandwidth. This spam also greatly furthers the spread of Trojan horses; as Trojans, they are not self-replicating. They rely on the movement of e-mails or spam to grow, whereas worms can spread by other means.

Jumping to a specific worksheet:

If you have a huge number of worksheets in a workbook, you may be looking for a way to jump to a specific sheet rather easily.
If you know the name of the worksheet you want to jump to, you can also use the Go To capabilities of Excel. Follow these steps:
1. Press F5. Excel displays the Go To dialog box.
2. In the Reference box, enter Sheet83!A1. (Replace "Sheet83" with the name of the worksheet you want to jump to.)
3. Click OK.

Maintainability:

The probability that a given maintenance action for an item under given usage conditions can be performed within a stated time interval when the maintenance is performed under stated conditions using stated procedures and resources.
Maintainability has two categories: serviceability (the ease of conducting scheduled inspections and servicing) and repairability (the ease of restoring service after a failure).

Physical Inventory:

Physical inventory is a process where a business physically counts its entire inventory. A physical inventory may be mandated by financial accounting rules or the tax regulations to place an accurate value on the inventory, or the business may need to count inventory so component parts or raw materials can be restocked. Businesses may use several different tactics to minimize the disruption caused by physical inventory.
• Inventory services provide labor and automation to quickly count inventory and minimize shutdown time.
• Inventory control system software can speed the physical inventory process.
• A perpetual inventory system tracks the receipt and use of inventory, and calculates the quantity on hand.
• Cycle counting, an alternative to physical inventory, may be less disruptive.
