2. Let’s get started with some “Word Play”
Honorable T. Ohno’s comments of Standard Work
1. When work is performed in the absence of a standard, this is an
abnormality
2. When standards exist but are not being followed, this is an
abnormality
3. When standards exist and are being followed, this is an
abnormality
Question:
How will you know if first 2
abnormalities exist?

3. Let’s build on the “Word Play”
Focus and Aim > Building KAIZEN & Challenge spirit!
1. When work is performed in the absence of a standard, this is an abnormality
2. When standards exist but are not being followed, this is an
abnormality
3. When standards exist and are being followed, this is an
abnormality
All 3 conditions produce KAIZEN Spirit
The 3rd foundationally roots KAIZEN Spirit
coupled with the Challenge Spirit

4. From Assumption to Reality through art of Sangen shugi
Reflection 反射 (hansei) > Genchi > Reality > Reflection 反射 (hansei)
