Kaizen is a process improvement tool of lean manufacturing and developed by masaki imai in japan. Now a day’s many organization is started implementing kaizen strategy & drive improvement throughout organization. To implement and taking maximum benefits of kaizen methodology, structurally kaizen implementation is very much important. Kaizen event is a basically pre-planned activity and…
Lean manufacturing is a basically approach to optimize the processes with the help of different lean manufacturing tools. The usage of each tool identify system or process abnormalities and doing some valuable improvement in processes. In this article we discuss overview of lean manufacturing tools. Now a day’s each and every organization is focused to…
Now a day’s everyone is focused to improve processes but it’s not easy for everyone. The goal of people is to establish a world-class manufacturing system and implement lean manufacturing concepts. 6 ‘s’ implementation is a very basic tool of lean manufacturing and you start the improvement journey with 6 ‘S’. Before you read this…
Value stream mapping is one of the lean manufacturing concepts and is widely used to optimize processes in industries. The main purpose to implement a value stream mapping tool is to create a future vision toward operation excellence with current process mapping. During value stream mapping implementation many lean manufacturing tools and concepts have been…
