Gemba Kaizen
Be ready for the factory improvement process!
Does Kaizen (continuous improvement) activities at the factory meet your expectations?
- “You want to implement Kaizen at the workplace, but do not know where to begin, what to improve and how to do it.”
- “The factory is now implementing Kaizen tools and techniques, yet the efficiency does not come up to your expectation."
- “The improvement process is usually attractive at first sight, then present so fleetingly as barely to exist.”
This is a hard-to-solve problem that most of Japanese factories operating in Vietnam as well as those domestic are now facing. From the experience of contacting and interviewing some factory managers, the fact-finding survey and some executed training courses, we believes that the two below factors are the main reasons:
- Factory leaders, in fact, do not fully understand the process of “Factory Kaizen”.
- The foundation knowledge is not efficiently implanted.
Ex: In factory, 5S (Sorting–Straightening–Shining–Standardizing–Self-discipline) is the most fundamental knowledge. However, factory leaders seem to understand it literally instead of the real meanings and ways to conduct it.
The training course “Gemba-Kaizen” will equip factory leaders with fundamental understanding regarding the real application of kaizen activities to the workplace.
