Assessing your Lean management implementation periodically is not just wise—it's essential. The Lean Management System Assessment (LMA) tool is grounded in the core principles of plan, do, check, act (PDCA), a fundamental aspect of Lean philosophy. It meticulously evaluates both process and behavior standards, defining five levels of maturity that can be applied across all levels of your organization.
This assessment isn't just a routine check—it's a strategic tool that clarifies your organizational goals and personal objectives. It provides a detailed snapshot of your current status relative to your standards and historical performance. Moreover, it's a compass that directs your attention to areas requiring improvement, ensuring your efforts are both focused and effective.
Adapted from the acclaimed work "Creating A Lean Culture" by David Mann, the Lean Assessment Framework stands out as a simpler, more practical alternative to the Shingo Model and the Baldrige Excellence Framework. It features eight comprehensive dimensions or categories, a user-friendly five-level maturity scale, and a straightforward 5-point scoring system that can be employed by individuals or teams.
The LMA tool provides an excellent resource for Lean or Operational Excellence Consultants who plan to use it as a holistic organizational diagnostic tool prior to recommending solutions to the client. It functions as a comprehensive organizational diagnostic tool, allowing consultants to gain a deep understanding of the client's operations before recommending tailored solutions. By utilizing the LMA, consultants can effectively identify areas for improvement, develop targeted strategies, and guide their clients towards achieving sustainable operational excellence.
In essence, the Lean Management Assessment isn't just a tool—it's a pathway to operational excellence. It offers a structured and insightful method to evaluate and enhance your Lean implementation, providing invaluable guidance for continuous improvement and sustainable progress.
BENEFITS OF ASSESSMENT:
1. The dimensions and questions themselves should help to clarify what you are working toward, for yourself and for the rest of your organization.
2. An assessment should tell you where you stand relative to your standards and relative to your earlier status.
3. The results of an assessment will help you identify where you need to focus efforts to improve.

ISO 9001 is an international standard for quality management systems. It was first published in 1987 and has been revised several times since to keep up with changes in business and quality practices. The latest version, ISO 9001:2015, includes several changes from previous versions, including a new annex called Annex SL that establishes a common framework for all ISO management system standards. This high level structure includes elements like scope, leadership responsibilities, planning, support, operations, performance evaluation, and improvement. The standard emphasizes risk-based thinking, organizational context, leadership involvement, and flexibility over documentation requirements. It aims to help organizations better meet customer and regulatory requirements through an effective quality management approach.
These are the slides that accompany the webinar found at: https://vimeo.com/280459431
Operating with clear processes makes or breaks organizational performance and it's an aspect of operations that is often fairly weak. Measuring organizational performance—whether overall performance or the performance of a small work team—is another area that we find often organizations struggling with.
In this webinar—the 3rd of 5 webinars based on content from my latest book, Clarity First—you'll learn the five criteria for robust process management and best practices for measuring and managing performance at any level in the organization. Additional topics will include creating and using standard work, how to properly roll out process changes, and avoiding measurement that drives the wrong behaviors.

Visual Management: Leading with what you can seeRenee Troughton
Produced and presented by Craig Smith and Renee Troughton at the Agile Australia 2013 20 June.
Using task boards or story walls is a key Agile practice, but are you making the most of it? Visual Management is more than just putting cards on a wall, it is a growing style of management that focuses on managing work only by what you can see rather than reports or paper being shuffled around. Visual Management allows you to understand the constraints in the system, mitigate risks before they become issues, report on progress from the micro to the macro. Visual Management can also be used to demonstrate to customers and clients where the work they care about is at. This presentation is all about taking the management of your work to the next stage of transparency.
Discover:
How to identify when your story wall isn't telling you everything and how to adjust it
* What the three different types of story walls are and which one is more suitable to certain circumstances
* Different ways to visualise your product backlog
Why queue columns and limiting work in progress is so important regardless of whether you are using Scrum or Kanban
* How symbols and tokens can be used to give more information
* What else can you use other than story walls to visualise information
* How to ingrain Visual Management into both the team and management structures of your organisation
* Visualising Your Quality, Testing and Team
* What is systemic flow mapping and why is it important

6 s – guideline for the lean practitionermohammedraja
This document provides an overview of the 6-S methodology for visual control and continuous improvement. It describes the 6 steps as: Sort, Set In Order, Sweep/Shine, Standardize, Safety, and Sustain. An example activity called the "6-S Numbers Game" is used to demonstrate how implementing each step can improve performance on a task. Participants play the game by striking out numbers in sequence within a time limit. Their scores generally improve as more 6-S steps are applied, such as organizing the workspace and standardizing the process. The document emphasizes the leader's role in teaching 6-S principles and driving cultural change for safety, quality and efficiency.
The document discusses the principles and objectives of 5S, which are a set of five organizational techniques used to improve the workplace. The 5S's are Seiri (sorting), Seiton (systematic arrangement), Seiso (cleaning), Seiketsu (standardization), and Shitsuke (self-discipline). Each S is defined in 1-2 sentences with its meaning and the activities involved. Methods for implementing each S like visual controls, checklists, and establishing self-discipline through committees and training are also summarized briefly.
A3 Thinking is a Lean concept intended to keep everyone in the process on the same page! At LeanCor, we use it in each department and across functions when we need a quick way to share what we're working on.
The document outlines an 8-step Focused Improvement process to maximize efficiency and minimize losses in production lines, processes, and equipment. The steps are: 1) set an improvement topic, 2) understand the current situation, 3) expose and eliminate abnormalities, 4) analyze causes, 5) plan improvements, 6) implement improvements, 7) check results, and 8) consolidate gains. The goal is to continuously improve operations using the Plan-Do-Check-Act framework.
Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy that focuses on continuous incremental improvement of processes in business or industry. A Kaizen blitz involves using cross-functional teams over a short period, like 3-5 days, to rapidly improve a specific work area. The Kaizen approach uses pre-event preparation, a focused Kaizen event, and follow-up actions to implement improvements identified during the event. Tools like process mapping and data analysis are used to identify issues and prioritize solutions, which are then implemented during the event to create standardized work processes and measure benefits.
Kaizen strategy is the single most important concept in Japanese management - the key to successful Japanese companies such as Toyota. Kaizen, which simply means continuous improvement, is the foundation for all Lean improvements. Kaizen events are opportunities to make focused changes in the workplace.
The Kaizen Poster depicts the key Kaizen concepts, principles, methods and tools for workplace continuous improvement.
The Poster comes in two themes: color and monochrome. Formatted in PDF and in editable PPTX, the poster can be easily printed on an A3-sized paper from an office copier machine and displayed on employee workstations, or distributed together with your workshop handouts.
The Kaizen Poster complements your Kaizen and Lean training presentation materials. It serves as a takeaway and summary of your process improvement presentation.
The Kaizen Poster includes:
1. Key Concepts of Kaizen
2. The Meaning of Kaizen
3. Ten Basic Principles of Kaizen
4. Kaizen Philosophy
5. Kaizen & Job Functions
6. Three Criteria of Kaizen
7. Three Main Types of Kaizen Activities
8. Kaizen Event Process
9. 5W & 1H of Kaizen
The document provides guidance on conducting Kaizen events. It discusses that Kaizen events follow a typical process: 1) identifying an opportunity for improvement, 2) forming a team, 3) determining objectives, 4) scheduling the event. The event then involves 5) understanding the current state, 6) envisioning the future state, 7) developing improvement ideas, 8) implementing and standardizing changes, and 9) sustaining gains through continuous improvement. Kaizen events aim to continuously improve processes in small, incremental steps towards goals of safety, quality and efficiency.
Visual management is an integral part of a Lean management system. Visual management uses displays, metrics and controls to help establish and maintain continuous flow, and giving everyone a view of the work along the value stream. It includes a set of techniques that make operation standards visible so that people can follow them more easily. These techniques expose waste so that it can be prevented and eliminated.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1. Understand that visual management is an integral part of Lean transformation
2. Familiarize with the common visual tools such as red tagging, activity boards, A3 storyboards, mistake-proofing, one-point lessons, standard work, kanban, etc.
3. Gain knowledge on how to apply visual tools to add structure and stability to operations, reducing variation and increasing efficiency

The A3 provides a disciplined way of reporting on problems that encourages a disciplined way of solving problems.
Toyota's relentless dedication to continuous improvement is what gives them their greatest competitive advantage. To this end, the principle of PDCA: Plan Do, Check, Act is engrained throughout their corporate culture. Just as ingrained, and equally valuable, is the flexible, yet precise, reporting system, which is married to the process. All about efficiency, every report must be confined to one side of an A3 (11 x 17-inch) sheet of paper; hence the report is known as the A3.
The A3 report can be used to propose solutions to problems, give status reports on ongoing projects, and report results of information gathering activity.
A3 is not about generating more paperwork, but it is all about creating a process and a mindset that are uncompromising in their dedication to improvement. Diligently applying the process, thinking, and tools described in this presentation will dramatically improve the effectiveness of those individuals involved, and when spread through an organization, will quickly result in a culture of genuine improvement.
While this system grew out of automotive manufacturing, it is proven to be broadly applicable to almost any management system.
This A3 Thinking training guide emphasizes the discipline required to generate an A3 report. It covers everything needed to execute a rigorous reporting system. You will learn the step-by-step A3 problem solving process from problem identification to resolution in a fashion that fosters learning, collaboration, and personal development. The problem-solving team records the results of investigation and planning in a concise, two-page document (the A3 report) that facilitates knowledge sharing and collaboration.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Understand the principles and significance of A3 thinking in continuous improvement.
2. Learn the step-by-step A3 problem-solving process, from theme development to follow- up.
3. Acquire proficiency in utilizing A3 problem- solving tools for effective analysis and decision- making.
4. Develop skills for creating clear, concise A3 reports and gain practical tips for successful problem- solving.

A kaizen event is being held at the Toronto Factory to improve safety in work cell #3. The 5-day event will involve cross-functional teams identifying and implementing safety improvements through activities like hazard identification, 5S training, brainstorming, and developing solutions. The goals are to implement 15 safety improvements, raise the 5S score, implement 6 ergonomic improvements, and improve the GMP audit score. Each day will focus on a different part of the process such as training, discovery, implementation, refinement, and presenting results.
Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement involving all employees. It is based on the concept of continuously improving processes through small, incremental changes over time. The key principles of Kaizen include continuously improving processes at every level of the organization through team-based problem solving and employee involvement. The typical phases of a Kaizen event involve identifying opportunities, analyzing current processes, envisioning improvements, implementing changes, verifying results, and continuously improving. Kaizen emphasizes continuous incremental changes rather than occasional dramatic changes, with the goal of achieving perfection through constant small steps of improvement.

The 5S's are Seiri (sorting), Seiton (systematic arrangement), Seiso (cleaning), Seiketsu (standardization), and Shitsuke (self-discipline). Each S is defined in 1-2 sentences with its meaning and the activities involved. Methods for implementing each S like visual controls, checklists, and establishing self-discipline through committees and training are also summarized briefly.
A3 Thinking is a Lean concept intended to keep everyone in the process on the same page! At LeanCor, we use it in each department and across functions when we need a quick way to share what we're working on.
The document outlines an 8-step Focused Improvement process to maximize efficiency and minimize losses in production lines, processes, and equipment. The steps are: 1) set an improvement topic, 2) understand the current situation, 3) expose and eliminate abnormalities, 4) analyze causes, 5) plan improvements, 6) implement improvements, 7) check results, and 8) consolidate gains. The goal is to continuously improve operations using the Plan-Do-Check-Act framework.
Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy that focuses on continuous incremental improvement of processes in business or industry. A Kaizen blitz involves using cross-functional teams over a short period, like 3-5 days, to rapidly improve a specific work area. The Kaizen approach uses pre-event preparation, a focused Kaizen event, and follow-up actions to implement improvements identified during the event. Tools like process mapping and data analysis are used to identify issues and prioritize solutions, which are then implemented during the event to create standardized work processes and measure benefits.
Kaizen strategy is the single most important concept in Japanese management - the key to successful Japanese companies such as Toyota. Kaizen, which simply means continuous improvement, is the foundation for all Lean improvements. Kaizen events are opportunities to make focused changes in the workplace.
The Kaizen Poster depicts the key Kaizen concepts, principles, methods and tools for workplace continuous improvement.
The Poster comes in two themes: color and monochrome. Formatted in PDF and in editable PPTX, the poster can be easily printed on an A3-sized paper from an office copier machine and displayed on employee workstations, or distributed together with your workshop handouts.
The Kaizen Poster complements your Kaizen and Lean training presentation materials. It serves as a takeaway and summary of your process improvement presentation.
The Kaizen Poster includes:
1. Key Concepts of Kaizen
2. The Meaning of Kaizen
3. Ten Basic Principles of Kaizen
4. Kaizen Philosophy
5. Kaizen & Job Functions
6. Three Criteria of Kaizen
7. Three Main Types of Kaizen Activities
8. Kaizen Event Process

The document provides guidance on conducting Kaizen events. It discusses that Kaizen events follow a typical process: 1) identifying an opportunity for improvement, 2) forming a team, 3) determining objectives, 4) scheduling the event. The event then involves 5) understanding the current state, 6) envisioning the future state, 7) developing improvement ideas, 8) implementing and standardizing changes, and 9) sustaining gains through continuous improvement. Kaizen events aim to continuously improve processes in small, incremental steps towards goals of safety, quality and efficiency.
Visual management is an integral part of a Lean management system. Visual management uses displays, metrics and controls to help establish and maintain continuous flow, and giving everyone a view of the work along the value stream.

The A3 provides a disciplined way of reporting on problems that encourages a disciplined way of solving problems.
Toyota's relentless dedication to continuous improvement is what gives them their greatest competitive advantage. To this end, the principle of PDCA: Plan Do, Check, Act is engrained throughout their corporate culture. Just as ingrained, and equally valuable, is the flexible, yet precise, reporting system, which is married to the process. All about efficiency, every report must be confined to one side of an A3 (11 x 17-inch) sheet of paper; hence the report is known as the A3.
The A3 report can be used to propose solutions to problems, give status reports on ongoing projects, and report results of information gathering activity.
A3 is not about generating more paperwork, but it is all about creating a process and a mindset that are uncompromising in their dedication to improvement. Diligently applying the process, thinking, and tools described in this presentation will dramatically improve the effectiveness of those individuals involved, and when spread through an organization, will quickly result in a culture of genuine improvement.
While this system grew out of automotive manufacturing, it is proven to be broadly applicable to almost any management system.
This A3 Thinking training guide emphasizes the discipline required to generate an A3 report. It covers everything needed to execute a rigorous reporting system. You will learn the step-by-step A3 problem solving process from problem identification to resolution in a fashion that fosters learning, collaboration, and personal development. The problem-solving team records the results of investigation and planning in a concise, two-page document (the A3 report) that facilitates knowledge sharing and collaboration.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Understand the principles and significance of A3 thinking in continuous improvement.
2. Learn the step-by-step A3 problem-solving process, from theme development to follow- up.
3. Acquire proficiency in utilizing A3 problem- solving tools for effective analysis and decision- making.
4. Develop skills for creating clear, concise A3 reports and gain practical tips for successful problem- solving.

A kaizen event is being held at the Toronto Factory to improve safety in work cell #3. The 5-day event will involve cross-functional teams identifying and implementing safety improvements through activities like hazard identification, 5S training, brainstorming, and developing solutions. The goals are to implement 15 safety improvements, raise the 5S score, implement 6 ergonomic improvements, and improve the GMP audit score. Each day will focus on a different part of the process such as training, discovery, implementation, refinement, and presenting results.
Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement involving all employees. It is based on the concept of continuously improving processes through small, incremental changes over time. The key principles of Kaizen include continuously improving processes at every level of the organization through team-based problem solving and employee involvement. The typical phases of a Kaizen event involve identifying opportunities, analyzing current processes, envisioning improvements, implementing changes, verifying results, and continuously improving. Kaizen emphasizes continuous incremental changes rather than occasional dramatic changes, with the goal of achieving perfection through constant small steps of improvement.
The document provides information on implementing a 5S system in an organization. It begins with an introduction to 5S, which is a system for organizing workspaces efficiently and safely. It then outlines the five S's: Sort, Set In Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. For each S, it provides policies and action steps for implementation. It discusses how to motivate employees to practice 5S through setting goals, listening, recognizing success, and creating a good culture. The overall objective is to introduce 5S and how it can improve productivity, quality, safety and more when implemented in an organization.

This document provides an overview of Lean and Kaizen concepts and tools for process improvement. It discusses key Lean principles like eliminating waste, continuous flow and pull systems, visual management, and standardizing work. The document emphasizes that the primary goals of Lean are to maximize value added work and human development by empowering employees and changing management styles.
Kaizen refers to continuous improvement and involves recognizing problems, setting standards, and making constant small improvements. It is a gradual approach used by Japanese companies, focused on improving processes and involving employees. A Kaizen event is a short project to improve a specific process through analyzing the current state, designing improvements, and rearranging the process over 2-10 days with a cross-functional team. The goal is to recognize problems, standardize processes, empower employees to suggest improvements, and continuously make small steps to optimize operations.
The document discusses various continuous improvement strategies used in manufacturing including Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA), Lean, Six Sigma, Total Quality Management (TQM), Kaizen, 5S, Hoshin Kanri/Hoshin Planning, Kanban, Value Stream Mapping, and TIMWOOD. It provides brief descriptions of each strategy and their benefits. It also advertises for a company called Creative Safety Supply that provides products and services to help with continuous improvement efforts.
Kaizen refers to continuous improvement of processes and people. The philosophy aims to improve all aspects of an organization over time. There are two elements that define Kaizen - improvement/change for the better, and an ongoing/continuous approach. A Kaizen event involves selecting an area for improvement, planning and implementing changes, and following up. The goals are to eliminate waste like overproduction, waiting, defects and motion. Benefits include reduced waste, improved quality and space utilization, and higher employee morale. Common pitfalls can include resistance to change and lack of clear procedures.
The document provides an overview of Six Sigma Lean methodology for process improvement. It discusses that Six Sigma Lean focuses on understanding and controlling key input factors that drive results through a systematic approach. This allows processes to become predictable and centered on customer requirements. It emphasizes that the methodology gives process experts tools to solve problems before they become larger issues. The document also outlines the typical organizational structure and roles for a Six Sigma Lean program.
Kaizen is a philosophy of continuous improvement through small, incremental changes. It emphasizes empowering employees to identify and implement improvements on a daily basis. Key aspects of Kaizen include establishing a culture of continuous learning and problem-solving, conducting Kaizen events to address specific problems, and using the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle to drive improvements. For Kaizen transformations to succeed, organizations must create a sense of urgency, develop a clear vision, empower employees, plan for short-term wins, and embrace new approaches on an ongoing basis.
Kaizen events are short, focused improvement projects that aim to drive quick changes and lead to a leaner business. They use a team-based approach over a short time period, such as 5 days, to identify problems and implement solutions. Key elements include establishing clear goals, dedicating resources to the event, focusing on implementation and action, and achieving immediate, measurable results. Successful kaizen events require planning, stakeholder engagement, change management strategies to sustain results, and defining the current and future states.
Kaizen refers to the Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement through small, incremental changes involving all employees. The concept originated in post-World War II Japan and has since spread globally, focusing on continuously improving processes and functions through employee engagement and eliminating waste. The standard elements of a Kaizen include documenting the current process, identifying areas of waste, planning improvements, implementing changes, verifying results, and making successful changes the new standard to drive ongoing improvement.
Kaizen is a Japanese term meaning "change for the better" or "continuous improvement." It is a Japanese business philosophy regarding the processes that continuously improve operations and involve all employees. Kaizen sees improvement in productivity as a gradual and methodical process.
Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy of continuous incremental improvement involving all employees. The Kaizen Blitz is a focused approach to radical process improvement over a short period, typically one week. It follows an agenda of observing the current process, developing a future state process to eliminate waste, implementing changes, and analyzing results. Key rules include being open-minded, eliminating blame, prioritizing creativity over capital, and just doing it. Common roadblocks include seeing changes as premature, lacking budget, or fearing accountability.
Kaizen or Continuous improvement through suggestions of employees is a proven Japenese technique worth adopting by all. It is a necessary tool in Lean Manufacturing.

23. What a Kaizen event look like?
Quality Circle (QC)
Quality Circle is a Quality Improvement Team/ Process Improvement
Team
A team of 3-9 people - who meet regularly to discuss quality related
work problems so that they may examine and generate solutions to
these
There must be commitment from senior management, unit management
and supervision, other staff and of course the circle members
Open-mindedness and a desire to avoid blocking is essential.
24. What a Kaizen event look like?
Quality Circle (QC)
Quality Circles, in the 1970's, was the first big push to mimic Japan's success
with a team based work culture.
Although there were success stories, and some organizations still use
them, most saw them as a failure!!!
Some of the reasons for failure included:
25. What a Kaizen event look like?
Quality Circle (QC)
Reward and recognition (R&R) have various functions and can be
valuable tool for QC. R&R can be provided if
1. QC improves the reinforcement of quality-related behavior and
achievements.
2. QC shows organizational values, and they show how the organization
appreciates efforts .
3. QC indicates achievement, which is an element of continuous
improvement ( Kaizen ).
Recognition is also a form of feedback about the result of individual or team
efforts.
26. What a Kaizen event look like?
Quality Circle
Suggestions or proposals start from a problem perception and
recognizing the need to solve it
The problems inside an organization are the sources of any kind of
proposal systems.
But employees inside the organization do not perceive problems on the
same way .
There are considered 5 levels of problems perceiving from employees in
an organization:
27. What a Kaizen event look like?
Quality Circle
Level 1: People deny that are problems or don’t want to see them
Level 2: People admit that there are problems but find excuses not being
able to solve them
Level 3: People accept the fact that there are problems but unable to
solve them because they don’t know how attack them
Level 4: People want to see potential problems for this try to visualize
them.They will attack them by learning proper methods
Level 5: People know their problems, methods to solve them and how to
involve all the people to attack them. They are ready to attack any
problem and to change their organization if needed after solving the
problem.

Kaizen’s Pillars – 3. Standardization
It helps to reduce variation
It is set by management but able to change when the
environment changes.
It is a never-ending process and is better explained and
presented by the PDCA
It is a repeated process followed by team!!!
54. 7 March 2015 Slide 54
Continuous improvement is an ongoing effort to improve products,
services or processes.
These efforts can seek “incremental” improvement over time or
“breakthrough” improvement all at once.
Among the most widely used tools for continuous improvement is a
four-step quality model—the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle, also
known as Deming Cycle or Shewhart Cycle
Kaizen’s Pillars – 3. Standardization
55. 7 March 2015 Slide 55
P – Plan
D – Do
C – Check
A – Act/ Adjust
Note: "A" is also referred as "Adjust".This helps trainees to understand that the 4th
step is more about adjusting/correcting
Kaizen’s Pillars – 3. Standardization
56. 7 March 2015 Slide 56
P – Plan - Establish a plan to change whatever needs to be improved
D – Do - Carry out changes on a small scale,
C – Check -Observe the results,
A – Act/ Adjust - Evaluate the results and the process. Then determine
what has been learned .
Kaizen’s Pillars – 3. Standardization

Continuous or Continual?
Continual improvement: a broader term preferred by W. Edwards
Deming to refer to general processes of improvement and encompassing
“discontinuous” improvements—that is, many different approaches,
covering different areas.
Continuous improvement: a subset of continual improvement, with a
more specific focus on linear, incremental improvement within an existing
process. Some practitioners also associate continuous improvement
more closely with techniques of statistical process control.

PHASE 1: PLAN
Plan: Identify an opportunity and plan for change Establish the
objectives and processes necessary to deliver results in accordance
with the expected output (the target or goals).
STEPS
Select team
Identify problem /
opportunity by Brainstorm
Evaluate current state
Define future state
Develop weekly plan

TOOLS
Kaizen’s Pillars – 3. Standardization
61. Affinity Diagrams
Organizes a large amount of verbal data related to a broad
problem or subject
– Ideas, opinions, facts
Usage example: Establishing a new QC policy
Steps:
– Gather a large number of ideas
– Put individual ideas on cards or sticky notes
– As a team, group the ideas according to natural “affinity” or
relationship to each other
– These natural groups become “strategic factors”
Kaizen’s Pillars – 3. Standardization
62. Affinity Diagram Example
Your team has been brainstorming to develop a list of ideas to
incorporate into the vision. They have come up with the
following list. Develop an affinity diagram and name each
strategic factor.
Low product maintenance
Satisfied employees
Courteous order entry
Low prices
Quick delivery
Growth in shareholder value
Teamwork
Responsive technical support
Personal employee growth
Low production costs
Innovative product features

above) of the change and determine whether it made a difference
STEPS TOOLS
Kaizen’s Pillars – 3. Standardization
89. Histograms
Purpose:
To determine the spread or variation of a set
of data points in a graphical form
How is it done?:
Collect data, 50-100 data point
Determine the range of the data
Calculate the size of the class interval
Divide data points into classes Determine
the class boundary
Count # of data points in each class
Draw the histogram
Stable process, exhibiting bell shape
Kaizen’s Pillars – 3. Standardization
90. HistogramsBenefits:
Allows you to understand at a glance the variation that exists in a process

² Kaizen Targets
² Ground Rules & Guidelines
117. Ground Rules & Guidelines
Ø Try to make all improvements within the event area. Avoid blame
on suppliers (internal or external)
Ø Don’t accept excuses. Just say no to “we’ve always done it that
way” and the status quo. Keep an open mind to change
Ø Think of how it can be done, not why it won’t work. Don’t make
excuses-just make improvement happen
Ø Ask “why” five times until you get to the root cause of the
problem (The 5 Why’s)
Ø The Team solution is usually the best solution
Ø Don’t over-analyze. Understand the process, then “just do it,” and
see if it works
Ø Don’t seek perfection the first time. Do something now – a 20%
improvement is better than nothing
http://REALKaizen.com 117
118. Ground Rules & Guidelines
Ø “Fast and crude” is better than “slow and elegant” or “maybe
never”.
Ø In the worst case, the original process can be restored
Ø Never leave in silent disagreement; Silence is agreement = ‘I can
live with it’
Ø Every person has a voice and there is no such thing as a dumb
question
Ø Keep a positive attitude and have fun. The possibilities for
improvements are unlimited
Ø Everyone respect everyone else
Change ‘paradigm’ from conventional to process-emphasis approach
