Daily Kaizen

[Virtual Presenter] This training video will cover Daily Kaizen, a crucial aspect of the Lean Enterprise Business System. Throughout the presentation, we will examine the idea of Kaizen and its practical application in your daily work routine. By the end of the video, you will have a deeper comprehension of how Kaizen can enhance efficiency, productivity, and promote ongoing improvement in your organization. Let's begin!.

[Audio] In the fast-paced business world, continuous improvement is important. This is where Daily Kaizen comes in. Daily Kaizen is part of the Lean Enterprise Business System and focuses on making small but meaningful improvements every day. The best part is, it doesn't require a cross-functional team or multiple support functions to implement changes. One of the main benefits of Daily Kaizen is the ability to easily reverse any changes that do not improve standard work. This flexibility to experiment and learn from mistakes is crucial for continuous improvement. The best time to implement Daily Kaizen is every day, from the moment you arrive at work until the end of the day. There are always opportunities for improvement, so there is no need to wait for a big project or major issue. Embrace the Daily Kaizen mindset and make valuable improvements in your daily work..

[Audio] Virtual events and seminars have become a crucial aspect of our work in today's fast-paced business world. In order to ensure efficient and effective processes and systems in this new way of connecting, the concept of Daily Kaizen is essential. Daily Kaizen is a fundamental element of the Lean Enterprise Business System, and on slide number 3 out of 9, we will be discussing 6S Improvement. This involves simple changes in relocations, work reallocation, and cell rebalancing within an organization to increase productivity and efficiency. Another component of Daily Kaizen is the generation of new ideas for tools, fixtures, and workstation designs that align with our goals of improving units per labor hour, reducing scrap, enhancing safety, and minimizing downtime. It is crucial that any improvement is measurable against existing standard work to accurately evaluate its impact. Daily Kaizen can also be applied on the shop floor, where small, incremental changes to processes, equipment, or layouts can result in significant improvements. These kaizens are an essential part of the Lean Enterprise Business System and greatly contribute to the overall success of an organization. Now that we have a better understanding of Daily Kaizen and its role in a Lean Enterprise Business System, let's move on to the next slide to discuss the benefits and potential challenges of implementing this concept in your organization..

[Audio] This section will cover the general approach to daily Kaizen as part of the Lean Enterprise Business System. Employees are expected to actively search for and suggest improvements in their daily work, as mentioned in slide number 3. These proposals are then discussed with the cell lead and recorded on an Improvement Tracking Form. If necessary, support personnel will be assigned to work with the originator to implement the idea within their work cell. This collaborative approach ensures that all employees have the necessary resources and support to carry out their proposed improvements. The CI manager will also assign a validation lead according to the Shop Floor Validation process, which is crucial in ensuring the effectiveness and alignment of proposed improvements with the company's goals and targets. Our general approach to daily Kaizen is rooted in the concept of continuous improvement and involves the active participation of all employees. By continuously seeking ways to enhance our standard work, we can improve efficiency and productivity within our organization. This not only benefits our business, but also empowers our employees to take ownership of their work and contribute to the growth and success of our company. We will now delve deeper into the specifics of daily Kaizen and its positive impact on our company in the following slides..

[Audio] We will now discuss the next crucial step in executing virtual events and seminars: execution. On slide number five, we will focus on the implementation of preparations. First, it is important to mark the floor according to the agreed layout for a smooth event. Next, we will review the technical requirements with the maintenance and IT departments. In order to ensure a successful event, we may need to create tooling, fixtures, workstations, racks, or carts. Additionally, we must be prepared for quick relocations if needed to minimize disruptions to our customers. Our goal is to involve every employee in contributing their skills and abilities for a successful event. As we continue our daily Kaizen and implement the Lean Enterprise Business System, let us remember the importance of execution and strive for excellence..

[Audio] We have been discussing how to successfully implement the Daily Kaizen methodology in our Lean Enterprise Business System. On slide number 7, we will focus on the important steps that must be taken for this process to be successful. The first step is to work closely with operators to ensure that any changes made improve the standard work. This involves actively seeking their input and incorporating their feedback into the improvement process. The next step is to measure and re-measure the results of the changes to track progress and identify any further areas for improvement. In the case of any unintended problems, it is important to respond quickly as a team with effective communication and collaboration to find a solution. The final step is to verify the improvements made, which is the responsibility of the Cell Lead. By following these steps, we can achieve success with our Daily Kaizen process and continuously improve our standard work. Thank you for watching. Please stay tuned for the final slide of our presentation..

[Audio] It is essential to understand the changes being made in your business systems to ensure the success of your virtual events and seminars. This includes considering the impact on all systems, such as BOMs, routings, costs, method sheets, work instructions, standard work combination sheets, training records, and maintenance schedules. The validation lead is responsible for overseeing this process and updating documentation and ERP data as needed. The purpose of this follow-up is to promptly and accurately update any critical information that may affect order delivery, cost, or quality. By aligning systems and tracking progress, operators can initiate the shop floor validation process and monitor improvements. This is a vital aspect of the Lean Enterprise Business System, aiding in the continuous improvement and efficiency maintenance of your operations..

[Audio] After discussing the Daily Kaizen concept within the Lean Enterprise Business System, our focus will now shift to the final slide, slide number 9. This slide will cover the significance of reporting and recognition in the Kaizen process. As part of this process, it is the responsibility of the operator or lead to report any improvements identified during the morning Gemba walk. These improvements are then presented in company meetings and formally recognized. To ensure proper recognition, it is necessary for these improvements to be documented and able to be printed. This not only keeps a record of the operator's improvement history, but also aids in any formal or informal evaluations that may occur. Reporting and recognition play a crucial role in the Daily Kaizen method, as it not only encourages ongoing improvement, but also acknowledges the operators' contributions. It is a way to express gratitude for their hard work and dedication in creating a more efficient and effective workplace. As we conclude our presentation, I want to thank you for your attention and for participating in this Virtual Events and Seminars training. We hope that it has been a valuable learning experience and that you are now prepared to implement Daily Kaizen within your own business. Thank you for listening..
