Kaizen Is Divided Into Several Types
When Kaizen is applied in a company, it is the responsibility of all workers, not just a chosen few. The Kaizen concept may be applied in a variety of ways in the workplace, some of which are mentioned below.
Kaizen is a Japanese term that means “improvement
It is one of the most widely used Kaizen techniques. It typically occurs unexpectedly and without much forethought. When anything is discovered to be faulty or wrong, fast and immediate action is done to rectify the situation. These actions are often modest, isolated, and simple to perform, yet they may have a significant effect.
It’s also conceivable that the beneficial impacts of point kaizen in one area may diminish or eliminate the advantages of point kaizen in another. A shop inspection by a supervisor may uncover damaged materials or other minor problems, prompting the shop owner to conduct a fast Kaizen (5S) to address such concerns.
Kaizen for the System
System Kaizen is carried out in a systematic way and is designed to solve system-level issues in a company. It’s a high-level strategic planning approach that leads in a series of Kaizen events spread out across time. In contrast, point Kaizen usually occurs as a consequence of the discovery of a minor problem that can be addressed in a short amount of time.
Kaizen for Lines
In this sense, the term “line” refers to a systematic spread of Lean from a point or discrete to a line. Kaizen may be used to improve a process (point) as well as the downstream process. A Line Kaizen is made up of these two points.
Another example might be Lean in procurement, which is also being used in the planning department.
Planning is upstream from procurement in this instance, and Kaizen is done at those two locations, forming a line.
Kaizen in the Plane Industry
It is the next step up from Line Kaizen, in which several lines are linked together. In contemporary terminology, this is referred to as a value stream, in which the organization is divided into product lines, families, and value streams rather than conventional divisions. Changes or enhancements made to one line or procedure may be applied to numerous additional lines or processes.
Cube Kaizen is a kind of Kaizen that focuses on
Cube Kaizen defines a scenario in which all of the planes’ points are linked to one another and no point is disconnected. This would be similar to a scenario in which Lean has spread across the whole company. Up and down the aircraft, or upstream and downstream, improvements are made, affecting the whole company, suppliers, and consumers. This may need some adjustments to normal corporate procedures.
