MY NAME IS H4 AND I
WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE
YOU TO THE WAY I
UNDERSTAND LEAN
BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS.

THIS IS OUR ASSEMBLY LINE.
HERE WE PRODUCE OUR H4
BEST IN CLASS 車 KURUMA FOR
THE EUROPEAN, JAPANESE
AND U.S. MARKETPLACE.

THE LEAN BEHAVIORAL
PATTERN THAT WE PRACTICE IN
OUR H4 FACTORIES IS MADE
OUT OF 6 SIMPLE RULES…
… AND I WILL PRESENT THEM
TO YOU IN THE NEXT PAGES.

二 無神経

三 根回し

LEAN

WE UNDERSTAND OUR ROLE AS A
SERVICE.
OUR ACTIONS ARE BASED UPON
HUMILITY TOWARDS COLLEAGUES,
CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS.
一 厳しい
KIBISHII
WITH THE HELP OF OUR H4-SAMURAI SPIRIT WE ARE ABLE TO
REMAIN FOCUSED ON VALUE CREATION WITH DISCIPLINE.
WE FIGHT AT
GEMBA WITH ALL
OUR STRENGTH TO
GIVE OUR BEST
ALL THE TIME.
TO RESPECT THE
STANDARDS IS OUR
FIRST PRIORITY.

二 無神経
MUSHIN
BROKEN PROCESSES CREATE BROKEN PEOPLE…
… FOR THIS REASON WE TRAIN OUR LEADERS IN MEDITATION, SELF
DISCIPLINE AND EMOTIONAL SELF CONTROL.

三 根回し
NEMAWASHI
OUR BUSINESS
UNDERSTANDING IS
BASED UPON PROCESS
MANAGEMENT.
WE ARE ALWAYS
LOOKING FOR NEW
ROBUST WAYS TO
DEVELOP OUR VALUE
CREATION.
WE PREPARE THE GROUND
CAREFULLY SO THAT OUR
PROCESS REMAINS RESILIENT
AND EVOLVABLE. THIS WAY WE
ENSURE SUSTAINABLE
GROWTH.
WE ARE PROUD OF
OUR PROCESSES AND
TAKE CARE OF THEM
EVERY DAY, THE
WHOLE DAY WITH
(CPD)nA.

四 相互依存
SOGO IZON
WE TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE
EFFECTS OF OUR ACTIONS
BEFORE THEY HAPPEN. THIS WAY
WE CAN LEAD OUR ACTIONS IN
THE DESIRED DIRECTION.
AT OUR H4 FACILITIES WE TRY TO BE CONSCIOUS OF
THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF REALITY.
BECAUSE ALL ORGANIZATIONAL ELEMENTS ARE
RELATED TO EACH OTHER, OUR ACTIONS INFLUENCE
MANY OTHERS.
THIS WAY, COMPLEX, NON LINEAR DYNAMICS ARISE.

五 形
KATA
AT OUR H4 FACILITIES
WE PRACTICE AND
REPEAT THE
BEHAVIORAL PATTERN
(CPD)nA IN ORDER TO
DEVELOP THE
CAPABILITY TO
DEVELOP
CAPABILITIES IN OUR
ORGANIZATION.
OUR GOAL IS SIMPLE
AS A PIMPLE.
EVERYONE DOES
(CPD)nA ALL DAY, THE
WHOLE DAY.

六 リーン
LEAN
AT OUR H4 FACILITIES,
WE UNDERSTAND
LEAN AS A
PHILOSOPHY, NOT AS
A NUMBER OF
METHODS. THE FIRST THING WE TRY IS TO
UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF
VALUE CREATION…
THEN WE ASK
OURSELVES WHAT
IS KEEPING US
FROM CREATING
VALUE.
DO WE
UNDERSTAND THE
NATURE OF WASTE?
THEN WITH (CPD)nA AND
HOSHIN KANRI…
… WE CREATE A
VALUE STREAM ORIENTED
FRACTAL PROCESS STRUCTURE.
THEN WE ALLOW FOR AN
EVOLUTIONAL PROCESS
STANDARDIZATION.
THEN WE TRY
NEW CREATIVE
WAYS TO
DEVELOP
OURSELVES AS
PEOPLE WITHIN
THE
ORGANIZATION.
THIS IS
LEAN MADE
ART.
AND ABOVE
ALL IT IS FUN!
