1. Kaizen = Continuous Improvement
• GOOD - CHANGE
• To improve its processes in small but meaningful ways.
• Kaizen was first introduced in the Toyota manufacturing plant
in Japan
• Kaizen is a philosophy and a workplace methodology that
allows everyone to take control of their work processes and
improve them.
• “Kaizen is the tortoise compared to the western hare. It relies
on long-term, long-lasting, and nondramatic changes.”
2. PDCA cycle
• The PDCA cycle is a system used to ensure the continuation
of the kaizen principles. It is a vital part of the process.
• Plan refers to establishing a target and a strategy for
improvement. This is a must. Without a target, how do you
know if you have achieved success?
• Do refers to the implementation of your plan.
• Check is when you determine if your plan actually improved
the process.
• Act is the process of standardizing the improved procedure
so that it can be continued and so that the problem will not
return.
3. QUALITY FIRST
• Quality is always the highest priority in a kaizen
system.
• But quality does not only refer to the finished
product, it also refers to the processes and
standards that create the product.
• It runs through all phases of company activity:
design, production, management, sales, and
service.
• It is both the goal and the method of the production
cycle.
4. • One of kaizen’s biggest strengths is that it solves
problems.
•Data is the lifeblood of the kaizen system.
• “THE NEXT PROCESS IS THE CUSTOMER.” If every
worker embraces this philosophy, the end result will be a
dramatic drop in defective products.
• 5S
5. THE 5 M’S
1. Manpower - Managers must
know if they are completing their
tasks in the right way and what
the skill level of each employee
is. Is the morale high, or is there
a lot of absenteeism or
indifference?
2. Machines -Manager must have an excellent
working knowledge of each machine and tool in his
department. He must check to see if they are being
regularly maintained and if they are in good working
order. Are they producing high quality products? If not,
is it the fault of the machine?
3. Materials -The flow of
materials is very important in
kaizen. Only those materials
that are needed should be in
the work zone. Each workstation
should have a minimum and
maximum inventory level for
each process.
4. Methods - standardized
methods. Posted
worksheets and diagrams
that show the sequence
and quality control for each
process will help achieve
proper adherence to the
standard methods.
5. Measurements - How do you
know if a process is running
smoothly? Productions,
schedules, and targets should
be displayed so everyone can
see if improvement is being
made. Gauges should be clearly
marked to show the proper
operating ranges of the
equipment.
6. The Kaizen Group
• kaizen is a group effort
• Kaizen will forever change the manager-worker
relationship
• The manager’s job is now to motivate and supervise the
workers.
• Small groups are formed to carry out various specific tasks
in the workplace such as quality control, suggestions
groups, ways to minimize movement, safety, or any other
necessary task. Together they utilize the PDCA cycle to
make small but continuous improvements to their areas.
