The Five Is To Improve The Production Site And Improve Its Efficiency.

Kiuchi Yukio, chairman and chief consultant of Japan Improvement Consultant Limited by Share Ltd, summarizes five key points for on-site improvement in his book "Introduction to field improvement" (Mechanical Industry Press):

In the process of on-site improvement, we may often encounter some objections. "We have tried this method before, but there is no harvest".

Do not let these objections affect our determination and conviction to improve.

Improvement is neither a meeting nor a report, but a practice in the workshop.

With the improvement of activities, some new problems will emerge, and new methods will emerge naturally.

Do not wait for everything to be ready to act. When necessary, you must hold the attitude of "do not expect to get full marks, but you can get 10 points and implement it immediately".

When receiving 10 points of achievement, the ultimate goal of innovation will be different from that of the past, so as to generate some new ideas.

If we encounter some problems in the process of improvement, we can not always rely on passive spending. Even if we have more money, we should not afford to buy high priced equipment and put it into production, because other competitors can also solve the problem of money.

Use your head and use your intelligence to find the best way to solve problems.

In the process of on-site improvement, if we can achieve the desired results, we will be delighted.

If we fail to achieve the expected results, we must constantly ask, "why do we have this problem?"

After some improvement, it is found that it is still far away from the expected target. We must once again get into the thinking and continue to look for the reason.

This repeated 5 times, you will find the cause of the problem.

When producing products in the workshop, all the operators should be more careful and check each other. We must discard the idea of "good" and always engage in production with the "worst" consciousness.
