Thorough elimination of MUDA and HITOZUKURI modeled after the Toyota Production System
Understanding the subject at the manufacturing site
>Do you ever see the following phenomena at your manufacturing sites?
・Poor Q (Quality), C (Cost), D (Delivery time) and S (Safety).
・Employees do not work no matter how often instruction is given.
・Employees, with the excuse that they are too busy, do not try to implement KAIZEN.
・Practice does not go with the written target.
・No problems can be identified for KAIZEN.
・Staff and managers are not present.
・Top management are not interested in the manufacturing sites.
・5S is taken for mere cleaning.
※ 5S opens the door for KAIZEN.
・Going through the motions does not lead to settlement.
KAIZEN is necessary with actual things at actual sites!
