Learn about Kaizen or process continuous improvement

Maybe not all people have ever heard about process continuous improvement. Because this words is seldom enough to be found in newspaper and all audio visual media. Fortunately for man who are working or maybe have ever worked in factory they must be used to with term of process continuous improvement. Because this word has always in purrs to give breathe life spirit into the employees so they can give the best effort. Process continuous improvement is kaizen.

So what is Kaizen or Process Continuous Improvement means? Many technical book outside define those word. I will resume shortly. Every effort to enhance from current condition to better condition is kaizen or Process Continuous Improvement. Why should we do that? Because our responsibility to give the best value of our product to the customer. If we lazy to do kaizen or Process Continuous Improvement then we will leave behind by our competitor. Means we have no business. So whatever our condition. Kaizen is a must to keep our business survive.

From the book which I read from Maasaki Imai I have obtained some interesting fact about Process continuous improvement or the kaizen. The fact is in Japan public, kaizen term or Process continuous improvement is common word to be told in daily life. All TV and newspaper many times mentioning these words in everyday context including governmental functionary. So obviously if kaizen or process improvement became a real very strong culture or habits in Japan. On the other side like explained by the books above if in America nor European countries initially fairly not recognizes term kaizen very well. They are more recognizing big innovation term or jumping movement or quantum movement. From their point of view continuous improvement or kaizen not more than like small steps of innovation which the effect often not directly seen. Lately - from the same books - They cooperated with their Japan principal to adopt kaizen soul and implement at the shop floor.

I have explained above that kaizen or Process Continuous Improvement is every effort to enhance from current condition to better condition. The keyword here is current condition or we can say standard condition. Standard are sets of rule to control process activity including machine, material, tool, environment and man itself. Those standard items are needs to get process safely, efficient with good quality consistently. So obviously we need standard first before doing kaizen or process continuous improvement. What if there is no standard of current process? Simply, just find good condition at the process and make it as standard. So we can start from that point.

Why we should do standardization before doing kaizen or process continuous improvement? It is a simple. We can not measure the kaizen or process continuous improvement achievement whether success or not. For example. I have standardized that we need sixth movement to cleaning product properly. So if we have 100 products that we should do 600 movements. So if we can reduce man movement from 6 movements per product become 4 movements per product without reduce in quality then we have succeeded do kaizen or process continuous improvement of man movements. But if we did not specify standard how many man movements to clean the product then we don't know whether 4 man movements are succeeded or not.

Next we will study about tools to be used when executing kaizen or process continuous improvement. And to add more soul on the lecture we give some real case. Keep watching and happy kaizen.
