Editor's Notes
- #4 It is word of founder : Kaizen is an improvement or ongoing improvement consisting every one from top management , managers to workers. the concept of Kaizen became popular in the United States only by the late 1980’s.
- #5Â While increasing the profit
- #9Â Kaizen is all about removing 3ms Muri put souch stress Mura unevenes
- #12Â Demings cycle All standards usually set by upper management in the company, however, they should be able to make changes in standards whenever the environment changes. Organizations can accomplish significant improvement if management review standards frequently aBy doing frequents check on the process, management can be able to encourage their teams to solve the problem in the process (Liker, 1997). When standards are in place and being followed up then if there were in deviation, employees would realize that there is a defect in the process. Thus, they can revise standards to correct deviation or recommend to management to change and improve the standard. This is an ongoing process that it is presented by Dr.Demming which is known as the Kaizen PDCA cycle (plan-do-check-act) or Demming cycle in the Figure7.
- #13 KKaizen basically, supports the improvement in the exciting activities (Cheser, 1994). However, it will not provide the significant step forward. Consequently, it is critical for firms to sustain a balance between innovation and kaizen strategy to have continuous improvement in their process. Keeping this balance is mainly, top management’s duty. They are in charge to look for any possible innovative opportunities as much as possible. Kaizen methodology implies small improvement made in the current situation by continuous efforts (Paul Brunet, & New, 2003). Whereas, innovation usually brings a drastic enhancement in the present situation by investing in the new technology as well as equipment or even re-engineering the whole process if it is necessary. Following table shows some differences between kaizen and innovation (Paul Brunet, & New, 2003).
- #15Â Discover improvement
- #16Â 2 which will bring customer statisfaction
- #18Â Kaizen case study was applied in a small-scale organization in the wire harness manufacturing industry for automotive vehicles (Kumar, & Pandey, 2103). The case study focused on cost reduction by doing modification in the process as well as made an improvement to achieve minimum rejection level in products (Kumar, & Pandey, 2103). The process that applied for cost reduction was as following: The problem was excessive cycle time as well as poor quality which was frequently happening in the resistor leg bending in the assembly, tube, cutting and slitting. The action for this problem was providing the jig for the leg because the reason was the problem was leg bending with the nose pillar as it can be seen in the picture the leg bending before improvement and the figure 10 leg bending after improvement. The result was the implementation of these kaizen activities we can save 50-60% time and cost reduction. The Tangible and Intangible benefits were (a.) Reduction in Manpower. (b.) Cost Reduction. (c.) Productivity improvement (d.) Over time reduction.
- #19 Conclusion Kaizen is the method that is essential for the companies that applied lean into their process. Kaizen or continuous improvement is the constant improvement in the process from start to end. The key elements of kaizen are teamwork, personal discipline, improved morale and quality circle. There also 5s which are required to be implemented in the organization to achieve Kaizen successfully. Kaizen is not just a method is also a culture of continuous improvement in the companies. Thus, companies that could apply kaizen correctly can have a benefit of customer satisfaction about their product while having the minimum waste in the process. Kaizen is one of the most important concepts in the lean methodology. Â
