• This improves the performance of the
organization

9. KANBAN

demand through the entire supply chain

time wastage

12. Kaizen in Toyota
• In the earlier 1990,Toyota was facing acute labour
shortage
• toyota’s initial mangement focus was on increasing
production efficiency through higher production levels
with less number of workers.this resulted in increased
stress & worker exodus
• The global upsurge in car demand during 1987-1991 led to
drastic increase in demand for labors
• Toyota realized that the it is the time to implement Kaizen
for modifying existing assembly lines to attract workers
• The company decided to change its working conditions to
accommodate workers of more diverse nature
• Toyota is well known one of the leaders in using Kaizen.In
1999 at one U.S plant 7000 toyota employee submitted
over 75000 suggestions of which 99% were implemented

13. EXAMPLE OF KAIZEN

14. KAIZEN IN DAY TO DAY LIFE
Consider the case of a student’s bag. The items can be
classified into
1.Notes and assignments
2.Stationary (pens, notepads etc.)
3.Other items like calculators, pen drive etc.
Regular checking of the stationary items
ensures that the notemaking is not affected due to
lack of stationary.
Keeping notes and assignments organized
enables faster access to them.
Overall checking of bag at regular intervals
ensures that no necessary items are missing

15. Conclusion
• The concept is simple but if properly applied can
lead to significant efficiency improvements for
organizations
• “Kaizen” or “continuous improvement” should be
a part of our everyday life
• Good is never good enough , kaizen is never-
ending journey to excellence
• It helps to turn problems into profit
