Very good video on a fundamental aspect of kaizen. I remember Masaaki Imai in his lectures emphasizing that 'There is no kaizen without standards" . Keep it up team !

[@DrG720214]

Arigatou gozaimasu Satish san. What you say is true Masaaki Imai always did emphasize the elevation of standards.

I am a MBA graduate with Operations specialization from one of the IIMs. This is the first time I have come across such comprehensive yet lucid to understand videos on the tricky topics of Ops & Supply Chain. Surely going to recommend the channel to my batchmates.

[@DrG720214]

Thank you Divyanshu. You are welcome. I congratulate you on spotting these videos. I have the advantage of having learned directly from Japan, and am blessed with the group of passing out students (as in the video), who have also studied briefly in Japan.They enjoy the depth of understanding; they go out of the way to help make these insightful videos. I thank them profusely. Operations Management has chaged 180 degrees to customer orientation, as contrast with the traditional cost orientation. Sadly most faculty continue to teach the old stuff. I am a professor and global consultant. Every bit we bring in the video is tried and tested with my clients. I am sure, you will enjoy the other videos. I would particularly draw your attention to one on lead time reduction while lowering working capital. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIGZhXV_rKygpJI Enjoy and learn. God bless you.

"Hitori Yatai" we should use it for all our assignments and projects genuinely. Going to do that sir. Also, the wavy railing was extremely unique and also the rescue vending machine. What FMEA! Haven't seen it in any country so far.

[@DrG720214]

Japan is unique. Japan is way ahead of all other countries. Typically Japan is doing what the other countries have not even thought of. That's why Japan is the great and inexhaustible source of learning.

[@aishwaryayadav2622]

Excellent video i came accross so far😍 I request you to give us an example of Some Bigger and heavy products on assembly line which requires more number of labours. What kaizens can we implement regarding heavy products? For example-Pumps, Big Engines etc.

[@DrG720214]

The principles are exactly the same. The concept shown here is Hiroti Yatai Seisan (Single PErson Workstation). In the cae of bigger equipment or machines, it becomes Single person cell (often in U shape). Where single person cell is not possible, more people are employed. The whole point of kaizen is about eliminating non value adding work.

[@neeraja9714]

Sir in IT we see that first we had simple laptops but now we can get laptops which can be converted to a tablet with touch screens on which you can write! Can this be considered as kaizen ?

[@DrG720214]

Yes, Neeraja, it can be considered as a kaizen since we went from one standard to another. However, there is a capital investment involved. In good kaizen, we avoid financial investment, usually by focusing on changing the method.

Can average person make a change in extraordinary way

[@DrG720214]

Thank you Madhura. Yes indeed, the beauty of kaizen is that it enables an ordinary person to give an extraordinary performance. Mr. Adi Godrej, Chairperson of the Godrej Group had said this many years back when we were introducing kaizen in the company, and I was a key player in it. It will stay in my memory for ever. Thank you for refreshing it.

Kaizen is like common sense

[@DrG720214]

That's true. However it has many tools and techniques which are not easy to figure out. For example, this video shows use of single person workstation with unification of labour. Not many people figure it out by common sense.
