An amazing example of 'moonshine kaizen' (credit to Mr. Chihiro Nakao in the Bob Emiliani book "Kaizen Forever" for that most excellent term!) on the shop floor to cut labels quickly & effectively! (Note: in production mode, an overturned box is placed over the blade to prevent any safety issues!) This simple idea significantly reduces cycle time & fluctuation in the standardized work of a team member, and was ZERO cost to implement. This great example comes from our very own True North Thinking Inc. team member Nicholas Azevedo on the floor supporting a customer in the #Windsor, #Ontario region. #toyotaproductionsystem #TPS #toyotaway #TnTkaizen #continuousimprovement #processimprovement #peopledevelopment #leadershipdevelopment #kaizen #PDCA
I don't know if I would go so far as to call it "amazing."
Yessss ! I made one similar a few years ago and keep it in my "trophy cabinet" in my office.
simple and with no cost at all. Brilliant Matt and your team.
I was engaged in this industry we would alway slit the labels and roll at point of print
What happens when a scanned individual dies and donates his eyes anonymously?
Power of moonshine, thanks for sharing

Manufacturing in Thailand? Need help?
1yWhat was the problem? Why do the identical labels need to be separated. Are they peeled off and stuck onto something or are they packaged as part of the product?
