KAIZEN SECRETS 2



The impact of Kaizen

What does it mean, concretely, to eliminate waste and errors in processes? When it comes to handling process errors, waste, inflexibility, and variance play a huge role. It’s important to turn this concept into tangible effects.

Eliminate waste (Muda): higher consistent quality at lower costs. For example, customers getting flawless invoices every time.
Less inflexibility (muri): delivering the right amount at the right time (just in time delivery). For example, deploying employees in a flexible way to adjust to changing customer demands.
Less variance (mura): a more reliable and predictable process. For example, standards and process lead times and quality being known and identical. The same thing for different people, products, or methods.

Kaizen, and especially the focus on reducing waste, inflexibility, and variance, drive change in the areas of quality management, lead time, productivity, and attitudes and behavior. These changes lead to measurable improvements when it comes to customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, and profitability.

The 12 Kaizen sources of waste


Just like Lean, Kaizen is focused on eliminating waste. There are 7 traditional and 5 modern sources of waste:
  • -over-production
  • -waiting
  • -extra-processing
  • -transportation
  • -mistakes or defects
  • -(work) inventory
  • -unnecessary (search) actions
  • -wrong products
  • -underused talent
  • -unused systems
  • -energy & water
  • -material waste

    Hello everyone, I'm Lea Paige Matteo from Zurich Switzerland and want to use this medium to express gratitude to lemeridian funding service for fulfilling his promise by granting me a loan, I was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organisations but never succeeded and most banks declined my credit request.
