“KAIZEN, The Key to Japan’s Competitive Success”<br />
The Essence of Kaizen is simple and straight forward.<br />
Kaizen means improvement involving everyone.<br />
Kaizen philosophy<br />
Assures way of life – working, social, home –<br />
deserves to be constantly improved<br />

In Essence<br />
The Japanese term equates to<br />
forever continuous and gradual improvement.<br />
The approach is Philosophical and Pragmatic<br />
-“technology” built into the job process<br />
- change of method to achieve an objective.<br />
Implemented by middle / lower managers and workers,<br />
encouraged and directed<br />
by the top in Top Down Approach.<br />

Introduction<br />
Encompasses a collection of techniques for<br />
continuously improving performance / productivity<br />
for cost effectiveness, quality and delivery,<br />
without large capital investments<br />
i.e. small change within restriction.<br />
Contains two elements<br />
- improvement / corrective action to change for the better<br />
- ongoing / continuity / repetition<br />

Introduction<br />
Strives to empower the worker<br />
to increase worker satisfaction;<br />
facilitate a sense of accomplishment;<br />
create a sense of pride in one's work.<br />
Kaizen techniques create<br />
a relationship between the worker and the job;<br />
job process becomes a partner<br />
to achieve job objectives.<br />

Basics for Kaizen Implementation<br />
a. Discard conventional fixed ideas and challenge<br />
new idea.<br />
b. Think of how to do it, not why it cannot be done.<br />
Think that you can do it.<br />
c. Do not make excuses, start by questioning<br />
current practices.<br />
d. Correct it right away, if you make mistake. Do<br />
not allow it snowball to big problem.<br />

Basics for Kaizen Implementation<br />
e. Do not spend money for KAIZEN, use your<br />
WISDOM.<br />
f. Wisdom is brought out when faced with<br />
hardship.<br />
g. Ask “WHY” five times and seek root causes.<br />
h. Seek the wisdom of 10 people rather than the<br />
knowledge of one. Two heads are better than<br />
one.<br />
i. KAIZEN ideas are infinite. There is no perfect<br />
work.<br />
j. Do even a little thing.<br />

Kaizen Techniques include<br />
1. Variation Reduction<br />
2. Poka-Yoke (error-proofing)<br />
3. Standardized Work<br />
4. Workplace Organization<br />
5. Process Analysis (waste reduction)<br />
6. Lean/Agile<br />
7. 5S<br />
8. Quality Control Cycle (QCC)<br />
<strong>Persatuan</strong> <strong>Alumni</strong> <strong>AOTS</strong> <strong>Malaysia</strong>
1. Variation Reduction<br />
Every task, job, or activity has a certain amount of<br />
inherent variation or variability.<br />
Reducing the amount of variation in each job, the chance<br />
of error occurring during the job process is reduced.<br />
By introducing “technology” to the situation, the inherent<br />
variation of the activity is reduced.<br />
<strong>Persatuan</strong> <strong>Alumni</strong> <strong>AOTS</strong> <strong>Malaysia</strong>
2. Poka-Yoke (error-proofing)<br />
Poka-yoke are primarily devices<br />
- create a dialogue between the worker and the job.<br />
Inform the worker of the accuracy or suitability of each job<br />
action by way of<br />
physical constraints (symmetry / asymmetry, guide pins)<br />
attributes (size, weight, dimensions, material)<br />
sensors (all types).<br />

3. Standardised Work<br />
Establishing a pattern, a rhythm, or a flow to each job.<br />
May be self-imposed by the worker<br />
enforced by laws (wearing safety goggles, hard hats)<br />
regulations (sound ergonomic practices)<br />
operating standards/procedures.<br />
<strong>Persatuan</strong> <strong>Alumni</strong> <strong>AOTS</strong> <strong>Malaysia</strong>
Comprises three elements :<br />
1. Takt Time - Available time to produce one unit of output<br />
= hours or seconds / shift outputs required / shift<br />
2. Work Sequence - order in which work is performed.<br />
Most efficient way work should be completed and is used<br />
as a safety tool to eliminate unsafe positions during<br />
equipment operation.<br />
3. Standard In-Process Stock - minimum amount of stock<br />
required to continue the sequence of operations.<br />

4. Workplace Organization<br />
Techniques involve keeping the work area clean<br />
using visual structuring to identify where tools<br />
inventory and materials are to be stored<br />
and having work materials positioned for ergonomic<br />
efficiency and worker safety.<br />
Principles of 5S<br />

5. Process Analysis (Waste Reduction)<br />
Focuses on the reduction of non-value added job<br />
components.<br />
Within production system, 67% of the workers’ time is<br />
spent on storage, 25% on handling, 3% on inspection and<br />
only 5% on process or value-added activity.<br />
To increase the amount of time spent on value-added<br />
activity, the storage, handling, and inspection percentages<br />
must be reduced.<br />
<strong>Persatuan</strong> <strong>Alumni</strong> <strong>AOTS</strong> <strong>Malaysia</strong>
Waste<br />
• Waste is non value added<br />
activities.<br />
• Eliminate of waste is not kaizen;<br />
change of method to eliminate<br />
cause of waste is.<br />
<strong>Persatuan</strong> <strong>Alumni</strong> <strong>AOTS</strong> <strong>Malaysia</strong>
Seven Types of Waste<br />
1. Early production*<br />
2. Waiting time<br />
3. Transportation<br />
4. Process<br />
5. Inventory*<br />
6. Non value added motion<br />
7. Product defect and rework*<br />

6. Lean / Agile<br />
Refers to system properties that are :<br />
Simple<br />
Mobile<br />
Adjustable<br />
Reusable<br />
: simple design, simple tools, simple assembly<br />
: portable, lightweight devices<br />
: devices that can quickly and easily reflect<br />
changes in the work environment, the<br />
product, and the product demands<br />
: materials may be reused as products,<br />
processes, or assembly volumes change.<br />
The life of the device may be geared to the<br />
life of the job, and workers may reuse<br />
the components in a new device or system<br />
configuration.<br />
<strong>Persatuan</strong> <strong>Alumni</strong> <strong>AOTS</strong> <strong>Malaysia</strong>
Lean / Agile devices directly address issues of material<br />
handling, storage, and parts presentation / positioning for<br />
the workers.<br />
In this capacity they address the largest components of<br />
waste reduction ; storage and handling.<br />
Lean / Agile devices contribute to good workplace<br />
organization and visual structuring techniques.<br />

Stumbling Blocks<br />
1. Management does not support it – Management drives<br />
the improvement process – require, enable, empower<br />
2. Lack objectives – set objectives with schedules, clear<br />
communication seems to motivate & guide staff – set<br />
goals, monitor, assist, achieve<br />
3. Employees do not know how to – Training and<br />
Education<br />
4. Short term attitude<br />
5. Copy or understand<br />
6. Management not at Gemba<br />

Quality<br />
• Customers set the ultimate criteria for<br />
quality.<br />
• If customers are satisfied, they will<br />
continue to patronize and the company<br />
will continue to survive.<br />

In Summary<br />
Kaizen = to take apart and put back together in a<br />
better way<br />
Applicable to any matter, such as processes,<br />
resources or people<br />
Small steps taken to produce desired process<br />
improvements instead of one big overhaul<br />
Safe way to implement quality<br />
Without human intervention, no process<br />
improvement using Kaizen<br />
<strong>Persatuan</strong> <strong>Alumni</strong> <strong>AOTS</strong> <strong>Malaysia</strong>
Instil discipline of going to Gemba, directly observing the facts,<br />
make rapid practical improvements based on PDCA and or other<br />
scientific method<br />
Kaizen goes beyond the continuous improvement process.<br />
Kaizen is a belief that creativity of people is infinite.<br />
Kaizen is never being satisfied with things as they are.<br />
Kaizen means pursuing the ideal condition, even though it might<br />
not be achieved<br />
Kaizen is a Way of Thinking<br />
Kaizen activity does not need to follow a certain format, last a<br />
certain no. of days or even require you to call it “Kaizen”.<br />
What’s important is that changes are made based on certain<br />
underlying values and guiding principles. Begin with “today’s<br />
condition is the worst that it has even been”. Many small ideas<br />
are most times better than one big improvement. “Try-storming”<br />
rather than brainstorming. Kaizen must make the work easier for<br />
people.<br />
<strong>Persatuan</strong> <strong>Alumni</strong> <strong>AOTS</strong> <strong>Malaysia</strong>
Kaizen as a Way of Life<br />
Our physical and social environment is constantly changing.<br />
We can use Kaizen to successfully adapt to these changes and<br />
make our lives better.<br />
The Kaizen we teach is more than a set of tools and techniques. It<br />
is a set of principles and a way of thinking. Kaizen is n ot a job for<br />
experts, it is part of everyone’s work. We tailor Kaizen<br />
instructions to make it relevant to the audience, so that lasting<br />
change is achieved.<br />
