Another successful kaizen activity...during break time! If you spend the time planning and running kaizen trials, implementation can be quick! (In this case, less than 15 minutes!) #TPS #toyotaproductionsystem #TnTkaizen #toyotaway #continuousimprovement #processimprovement #peopledevelopment #leadershipdevelopment #kaizen #PDCA #quality #problemsolving

Nothing gets the energy flowing and the improvements rocking like shop-floor kaizen activities! Good job, Nicholas Azevedo, Rick, Austin, Taylor and team!

Just finished the course “Implementing Lean: A Case Study” by Gemba Academy! #leanmanagement.

LEAN BITES: Creating a safe environment-a key to a successful Lean journey. While many organisations prioritize physical safety, what about psychological safety? This is about a safe, caring environment where team members are empowered to raise an alarm when quality is not within the expected standard and are invited to contribute to offering improvement ideas and solutions to problems. TOYOTA have been using this environment for many years, wrapped up in their core pillar “Respect for People”. Here are 6 steps to help you create a psychologically safe environment. 1.     Core Value-that speaks directly to caring for your people. 2.     Strategy- make it inclusive, ensure everyone can be involved in changing the organisation. 3.     Training-allow your people to learn valuable skills through day-to-day on-the-job application. 4.     Improvement ideas-capture, manage, respect and provide timely feedback on all ideas offered. 5.     Team meetings-prioritise the review of safety data above operational data. 6.     Give it time-monitor what you’re doing to ensure it’s effective. “Psychological safety is a belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns or mistakes’” Amy Edmondson https://lnkd.in/gBBzuxRV

Matt Elson, Nicholas Azevedo and team were onsite for another early morning (before production starts) kaizen trial. Team members have to think creatively and work hard to gain consensus for changes, including sometimes working extra hours to move the whole organization forward! Most importantly, kaizen activity should be viewed from the lens of a trial BEFORE permanent changes are made. In this case, the team had a hypothesis that a new way would be better, but needed to PROVE it would be better through an extended trial. This method is more important than the results themselves. (BTW: results exceeded customer demand by +50% with a cost improvement of about -30%) #TPS #toyotaproductionsystem #toyotaway #TnTkaizen #continuousimprovement #processimprovement #peopledevelopment #leadershipdevelopment #kaizen #PDCA #quality #problemsolving

Kaizen is often seen as the cornerstone of organisational excellence... the building block of all lean manufacturing projects. The goal is to pinpoint and resolve issues at the source whilst creating and maintaining a culture of collaboration. This is a process of discipline, implementing practical ways of setting goals, implementing actions, monitoring results and adjusting to ensure that even the smallest activities make a positive change of improvement... such as supporting the cycle of plan-do-check-act (PDCA). We understand that sometimes all you need is a top-up or refresh on selected knowledge, which is why we have split our Accelerated Route to Lean Manufacturing into bite-size topics that provide practical insights and examples that make a massive difference to your organisation. 🕤 1-Day workshop - 9.00 am to 4.00 pm. 🏆 £395 +VAT per delegate.

Quality Culture Transformation – Where do you stand on a scale from 1 to 10? I have witnessed many Quality Improvement initiatives over the years – many successful and many unsuccessful. All have been masked with a multitude of labels – QIP, TQM, Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen, and many others. The names/labels are immaterial but do result in adding countless entries into Roget’s Thesaurus. There is no one magic formula or one-size-fits all approach which yield success.  When all is said and done, companies want to improve quality, minimize costs, and gain market share.  However, there is a mindset or attitude that should exist as a prerequisite for success. This mindset can be reflected in twelve (12) categories. As part of company assessments, I‘ve scored companies on a scale of 1 to 10 in each of these twelve categories with “1” being “at ground zero, in the dark” and “10” being “transformed and sees the light”. Although the scoring is subjective in nature, the attached table portrays the definition of a “1” and “10” using some actual examples.  - Enjoy. #OrganizationalDevelopment #ISO90012015 #ContinuousImprovement #LeanSixSigma
