Kaizen Basic Education Created on February 2011 1 1.What is Kaizen? The general meaning of Improvement (Kaizen) is to improve a thing that is in bad condition. The term Improvement in the manufacturing industry has the meaning of bottom up activities are carried out mainly by the factory workers. Summary: The activities of improving the production are to equip modifications, new tools and work to ensure the safety and operational efficiency of a production error proofing all over the area and to prevent problems related to quality production. Improvement is often described as Kaizen nowadays. When the expansion of Japanese manufacturing plants abroad, trainers were dispatched from Japan to teach the local staff. MIT researchers became the centre of the strength of Japanese manufacturing in the 1980s. Mari Hiroshi as well as overseas are one of the most important manufacturing industry in Japan. Through such result, Kaizen became the world-wide word in the world. In order to improve current facilities, quality of the machine and productivity, Field side’s wisdom, quality and the activity of increasing productivity are done. 2 1. What is Kaizen? 1. Production facilities that incorporate the wisdom, have a lead to others using the same equipment. 2. By making modifications on their own to suppress large-scale investment rather than just buying what you lack. 3. Improvement is not just working under the order of company but the characteristic of workers changing things out of their own wisdom. 4. Employers support a lot of QC-circle activities. Moreover improvement is not finished once but one after another, sustainability and continuity are important. Multiply time with money to Effect get the effect. Value of improvement = Money×Time Increasing the value without paying out money but using the wisdom to. 3 2. The History of Kaizen The management system of Toyata is the first to incorporate and utilize the wisdom of the workers systematically to achieve achievements. The productivity in the field side, changing of the work methods in order to improve the quality and the jigs are used in any country and any era have been implemented with the immediate onsite productivity without spending money and improve the quality. 1. Sakichi Toyoda ・・・ ‘Automation with A Human Touch’ 2. Kiichiro Toyoda ・・・ Just-in-time (J.I.T) 3. Taiichi Ohno ・・・ Systemization of the production of Toyata Toyata is the first to incorporate and utilize the wisdom of the workers systematically to achieve achievements. 4 Reference 1. History and philosophy of Toyota Production System Sakichi Toyoda Kiichiro Toyoda (Inventor) (Founder) ‘Automation with A Human Touch’ ‘JUST-IN-TIME’ “Machine stops itself when a problem occurs” "What is needed, when needed, as needed!" Taiichi Ohno (Executive Vice President ) Introduction of ‘Toyota Production System’ Year 1942 “Elimination of waste” Install a device to stop the machine to stop automatically when abnormality occurs, then investigate the cause. Passenger Type AA (mass-produced passenger car type A1) production starts. Year 1936 5 Reference2. The Philosophy of Toyata Production • The success of the Toyota Production System is not just because of the tools of production management such as ‘Kanban’, ‘Kaizen’ etc., it is a culture or a system that can cultivate ideas and make good products day and night at the site by the carpenters. A culture or a system of cultivating ideas. • Persist in on-the-spot decisionmaking TOP management • Process-oriented principles. (The changing of results depends on the luck by the time.) • The mechanic of lighting up Kaizen desire. • The use of automation. This steady is the practice of maximum effort and because the results are influenced by the good or bad luck so do not be glad and sad by turns. (Process-oriented principles) The Toyata Production System is a transmission of the good Japanese traditions nowadays. “The sincerity and humanity itself is impossible without incident. However, the lack of them destroys everything.” Peter Drucker 6 Reference 3. The Kanban System From the beginning until the last process, take only the required amount of the required items when required. Then, the earlier manufacturing process is to supply only the amount of production which was taken over. In this way, the Kanban method prevents over process while being a tool of putting the overall just-in-time into practice. 1. The origin of ‘one piece flow’ manufacturing 2. Following with the take-back process 3. Zero inventory 4. ‘Leveling work’ → Obey the cycle time 5. Do not make it so fast. 7 Reference 4 “Automation with A Human Touch” 1. Immediately stops the line when poor response occurs. 2. It brings confusions to customers if a product is produced without handling the real cause. 3. “Automation with a Human Touch” is not about "Automation" but to attach humans’ wisdom onto the machine so it will not shut off automatically. 4. Keep asking the question ‘Why?’ even for 5 or 10 times and is necessary to have a line of does not want something bad to occur for the second time. 8 Reference 5. Muda (Waste) Elimination ‘Treasure things’ and ‘the thinking of do not waste’ are the origin of eliminating muda. 1. Muda of processing 4. Muda of waiting 2. Muda of inventory 5. Muda of repair/rejects 3. Muda of overproduction 6. Muda of transport 9 Reference 6.The Mind of Toyota's manufacturing "In a company when there is no race to get each person to add their good ideas to the work they do, I think this ruins people. Your improvements make the job easier for you, and give you time to make further improvements. Unlike in the [Charlie] Chaplin movie where people are treated as parts of a machine, the ability to 'add your creative ideas and changes to your own work' is what makes it possible to do work that is worthy of humans." Taiichi Ohno 10 3. The Kaizen Philosophy The world is constantly changing. Therefore, corporations as well as the people are changing, if countermeasures are not practiced, one cannot survive. At first, explore the changes that are under the constraints. There is an infinite ways of changing but in able to survive, change is finite. However, no one knows what is the BEST changing. Possibility for changes in BEST are hidden from the changes in non-BEST. The valuation of whether it is BEST or not is, because the decision is made by the external world (customers), the decision itself cannot determine and be concluded. When the evaluation of the outside world is good, then that is the good one. Therefore, the first thing we need to do is to take action of the changes. Results will be known if action is taken, the next action can be taken if the results is analyzed. Getting cold. Countermeasure 1: Wear a coat. Countermeasure 2: Use the heating system. Countermeasure3: Move to a warmer place. Select the BEST option to fit the constraints. 11 3. The Kaizen Philosophy Taking a serious view of the results or the process? For everything, it is not a big achievement if something successes according to the plan in our head. Because such a thing has always already been implemented.. The probability of successful is low, the thing no one wants to do, no one implements it and therefore, there is a value of trying. Then try to verify why failures occurred. Never give up and key to success is in it. “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” Thomas Edison 12 3. The Kaizen Philosophy According to the global changes, the method of work has to correspond in accordance with the corresponding reality. At first, grope for the correspondence in the constraints. ・New technology development ・Groundbreaking material development ・Moves of competitors Reality and constraint corresponding Kaizen ・Costumer needs ・Legal regulations A task is defined as a work to achieve a given objective. While Kaizen is defined as a better way to achieve the business objectives and make changes to a method. 13 4.How to proceed Kaizen? Organization. Management. Cogitation. 1) Organization: The continuity of developing the entire Kaizen organization. ・Membership ・Rules and regulations are made. 2) Management: Make an approachment and a mechanism to keep the management system on track and the activation of Kaizen activities. ・Select and train a leader. 3) Cogitation:Explain and make the employees consent to the definition of Kaizen. ・Kaizen education Organization is set up in order to continue the promotion system at the field level. 14 4. How to proceed Kaizen? Promote Kaizen to employees. 1. The way of thinking: Understand the meaning of Kaizen and urge the participation of Kaizen activities. 2. Enthusiasm: Set a notice board and premium for those who are actively involved. 3. Education: Educate the technology of efficiency improvement and methods. Thinking Education Enthusiasm Employees’ opinions, enthusiasm and education are necessary. 15 4. How to proceed Kaizen? Kaizen Implementation 1. Immediate implementation. Immediate action: If there is any problem, apply Kaizen on the spot. There are Kaizen chances if problems occurred especially when the problems only occur occasionally. Analyze the situation on the spot and investigate the problem. Start at once 2. Do not waste time: Do not conduct special meetings but instead proceed Kaizen. Seek advice from supervisors and seniors if there is something to consult and confirm. Time is Money 3. Do not spend money: The resolution of trouble cannot be handled by money. The thinking of whether one can access alternatively cheap and available for carrying out present item as well as commercial item. Don’t Spend Money 4. Suggestion from others: Seek suggestions from supervisors, seniors as well as managers from other departments. Two heads are better than one 16 5. Kaizen & Innovation Innovation The innovation type of revolution of the world leads to a contribution in development and spend a lot of time and money on invention. Also again, there are many developed, invented and copied items, profit as well as the members who are in charge of it comes to only have a small amount and it often does not occur. Characteristics: 1. It needs an enormous cost. 2. A long-term studies is needed. 3. Miscellanies do not occur frequently. 4. Easy to be imitated. 5. Planned implementation. (Analysis of present state, countermeasure, affirmation, evaluation) Invention of light bulb, print technology, airplane… Invention of internet, e-mail, Messenger… Invention of CD, personal computer, microwave… 17 5. Kaizen & Innovation Increasing The Productivity Productivity can be improved by increasing the productivity which consumes a lot of time and money and it includes the members and all the field workers. Also, a good management system that is built is difficult to be imitated by other companies. Characteristics: 1. Huge sum of money and does not take time. 2. Possibility of educating the employees. 3. Can respond to daily problems. 4. Difficult to imitate. 5. Take actions immediately. Kaizen is a system, there is no point in learning techniques and their own individual cultures. 18 5. Kaizen & Innovation Comparisons Kaizen Innovation Effect Long-term, continuous Short-term, dramatic Time Fast response Development for a long time Change A constant slow Sudden & explosive Participation All Some elite Approach Collectivism and systems Individualism idea approach Way Maintenance & improvement Scrap & build Benefit Function in low-growth economy Features of high-growth economy 19 5.

Kaizen and Innovation Kaizen Ideal innovation pattern Reality innovation pattern Kaizen pattern Kaizen Loss management Kaizen Loss management Outbreak of innovation Kaizen Loss management Outbreak of innovation Kaizen is the better way to explore under restriction limits. 22 6. Practical Kaizen System What is Kaizen? Kaizen is about the changing of the method of work without hassles, without spending money and using the wisdom to make work easy, safe and fast. Also, write down notes of Kaizen and doing recording is important. If manifestation is being measured and communized with everyone is possible, a new Kaizen is born. Kaizen = Reality measures Enforcement • Without hassles • Without spending money • Using the wisdom Communization Recording 23 6. Practical Kaizen System Implementation • In order to promote Kaizen, the important thing is there must be implementation. • The traditional proposal system is going to be outdated in the future. The idea of ‘I am the proposer. You are the conductor. ’ does not work in the coming years. • Try to practice it if you have any idea. If the idea is not good, rethink and try again. 24 6. Practical Kaizen System Of Record 1. Record the carried out Kaizen activity. 2. Content? 3. Effect? 4. The remaining challenges. Start with the recorded and datalysed work. 25 6. Practical Kaizen System Communization 1. Contact the other departments related to the implementation, discuss and communize the problem. 2. Provide education to the other departments. 3. Pose and review the problems. ‘Databaselized’, Discuss with friends & superior authorities Kaizen types Survey about IT & other departments education materials Implement Verification of effectiveness Communization Provides information to other departments 26 7. The Real Kaizen The Formula of Kaizen Value 【Standardization of the Pantograph Wear】 Overhead wires stretched diagonally in order to reduce the wear of the pantograph on the train and the contact part with overhead wires. Pantograph Track Direction of movement Aerial wiring Track V = Effect ÷(Money ×Time) • • • Does not take time. Does not need money. Does not trouble. 27 7. The Real Kaizen Simple Is The Best 1. If the work goes complicated, the mistakes will increase. 2. Consider the current situation and its original purpose of the work and determine if there is no waste. 3. Consider whether there are better ways or not. There are ways to achieve various objectives but select the best one according to the present state! 28 7. The Real Kaizen Eliminate The Unnecessary Works 1. To discern the necessary and unnecessary works. 2. Eliminate the unnecessary works to improve. 3. Focus on the primarily necessary work. 4. Attempt to improve the productivity and quality. Firstly, eliminate the unnecessary work at the beginning! 29 8.

Make it brighter Visualize the small problems earlier in order to avoid the occurrence of the big problems. 35 8. Standards of Kaizen 『Issue』 Stationarized. Regularized. Stylized. Problems of irregular, etc. uneven Must be adjusted 『Kaizen Implementation』 ○-lized No adjustment needed It consumes excessive time to fix the irregular pieces separately. Fixing is not needed if stationarized, regularized and stylized are done. 36 8. Standards of Kaizen ~ized: Specific Examples 1. Stylized: Memo of phone messages Omission is not forgotten once you have completed the necessary items prepared beforehand in stylized form. 2. Stationarized: Tool board Decide where to place and eliminate the waste of searching. 37 『Issue』 8. Standards of Kaizen ~ tion Duplication, repetition and other problems Extra effort needed 『Kaizen Implementation』 ~tion Does not require extra effort 「Diversification」 Share the duplicated collaboration part of elements and conditions in advance. Strengthen the diversification according to the situation of things. However, there is an incompatibility in the mere diversification of the scattered and mixed. The basic part is to plan the collaboration and demonstrate the unique synergy. Identity Sharing Compatibility 38 8. Standards of Kaizen Common in-: Specific Examples 1. Communization: Caliber of the guns & bullets Decides if the diameter of a pre-caliber and the bullets are compatible. Musket 2. Collaboration: Basic PC software Models, manufacturer and the data can be collaborated. PC OS 39 8. Standards of Kaizen Centralized 『Issue』 Simultaneous occurrence of common tasks with huge organization Wasted effort needed 『Kaizen Implementation』 Centralized No wasted needed The duplicate of an element will be a complicated mess. For example, a huge waste is occurred when the size of an organization is expanding and it collects similar data and does the same thing as other departments. The waste of duplication can be omitted if "unify or centralize" is done. A B Centralized overlap C 40 8. Standards of Kaizen Of~ : Specific Examples 1. List of ~ : Checklist To list multiple items, check the waste to prevent leakage. 2. Centralization: Centralized the printing of the label, expiry date and bar code label of the product to reduce working process. 41 9. Education of Kaizen Ability 1.

Information Age There is an era of gathering and absorbing the knowledge one wants efficiently. Innovation has mostly already been developed. It has become official. After that, it is important how to leverage that knowledge to cords. Information System Machine Creative choice Componentization Utilizing the current system!! 63 2. Learning and Creative Choice There are already ancestors from BC who came up with creative thoughts. Things that created by geniuses like Socrates, Plato, Buddha, etc. have already been documented in a book. We can learn and select the thoughts which have been thought by the ancestors. We now have a duty free and creative editing to coding network simply by selecting from the choices given. master said: “ If a man keeps cherishing his old knowledge, so as ““The The master said: “ If a man keeps cherishing his old knowledge, so as continually to be acquiring new, he may be a teacher to others.”” continually to be acquiring new, he may be a teacher to others.”” Confucius Confucius 64 3. Turning Knowledge Into Wisdom • Selection • Evaluate • Try • Enquire • Valuation • Actual field Using the knowledge according to the field conditions. 65 4. Kaizen’s Standard Tactics of Application of ○ Use the features, services and tools efficiently. The wrong idea of creating anything new is Kaizen. There is Kaizen by selecting an existing use. It is reasonable to learn, arrange and select the Kaizen pattern faster. 66 5. Kaizen of Functional Utilization Improvements carried out by using existing features. To do so, you must learn the features priorly. Before Kaizen After Kaizen Lost of data when the PC runs out of battery. Add an auto-save features. Working with some current stuff! 67 6.

If this is not good, take that.’. “The more you fail, the closer you are to success.” Thomas Engine 72 2. There is Kaizen if ‘Atarimae’ is practiced. 1. Definition: The definition of ‘Atarimae’ of boss and workers is different. So, there is a reality of superiors are surprise with the sensible content at a glance. Failure does not occur if Atarimae is practiced the way it should be. Will there be various problems if Atarimae is not practicing for some reason? There is a majority that does not practice Atarimae even when a big problem happened in the market. It’s Atarimae! 73 3.『一流企業はアタリマエの事を アタリマエにやっている』 1.一流 1.一流企業: (Top company): アタリマエの事をしてない時に即時、Kaizenし実行できる風土がある。 なにも特殊なことをしているわけではない。 なにも特殊なこ 『契約した内容』を間違えなく、遅れなく実施しているだけである。 ルール通りに実施する事である。 2. .三 .三流企業: (Third class company) 駄目な会社はアタリマエの事をしてない事に気がつかない。 またに気がついてもそれをアタリマエにしない。 よってアタリマエの事ができず、つまらない間違い 、トラブルが頻発する。 Follow the rules!! 74 4. Changes of Proper Criteria Innovation 50 years ago 20 years ago Now Social environment, social affairs, innovation and everything is constantly changing. Satisfy with the current conditions and it can no longer response to the changing that have been vacant even the matter of course. Not satisfied with the status quo, improve the case every day! 75 5. Kaizen Report Did something foolish. Improved the foolish thing. Manifestation of the problem. Face up to reality Communization of the problem. Without facing the reality and without doing anything, theory is being widespread. 76 8. Present Kaizen Utilization of The Internet 1.

Sample reference: 技術の森 http://mori.nc-net Technology manufacturing site Q&A Sample reference: Baidu 百度 知道 Chinese Q&A site Net questions and answers. 83 9. Current Kaizen Issues 1. Personnel training: Kaizen has been reduced by an increase in the power of temporary workers in the field. To those who work in a short period, it is not the benefits to themselves. Kaizen is in the state of no progression because there is no problem in the work remains to be said. Because the work of maintaining the status quo getting more and more, managing become more troublesome as well as the increasing of temporary workers in moving in the direction of ensuring the apparent benefits. 2. Sharing: When there are 2 temporary agencies in the factory, the Kaizen of a different temporary agency and the process of another temporary agency are not reflected, at all. Although they are on the same line, the production methods for each temporary agency are different. 3. Strategy and Tactics: It is impossible for Kaizen to be the strategy. This is because there are activities until the end at the field site… Currently, even overseas, the skills they are using at the field site has been improved. The continuous winning of the global competition of the field site’s Kaizen only, has become difficult from now on.
