| One of the basic methodologies of Kaizen is the Just-in-Time (JIT) system. JIT promotes optimized resource allocation, efficiently using product, schedule, and quantity to reduce production and operating costs. JIT establishes the basic groundwork for a true Kaizen working environment. From streamlined production processes to a pull system that optimizes inventory/production flows, JIT creates a waste-free-business mentality that eliminates expenses and maximizes returns. |
| |
| Purpose of seminar |
The Gemba Kaizen seminar consists of both lecture and field practical lessons. Attendees learn how to improve their Gemba (work site) through the lecture on the basic JIT concept, as well as field training covering the standardized work for Takt time production. |
| |
| Who should attend |
Executives who recognize the importance of Kaizen activities and plan to incorporate the Kaizen methodologies into Gemba (work sites), and all employees who just started involving Kaizen activities or will oversee the implementation of Kaizen activities — regardless of the type of industry, product, market, department, or technical expertise. |
| |

| Day 2 & 3： Hands-on Kaizen activities at a plant |
| |
Teams are formed of one consultant and several seminar participants. In a workplace (Gemba), each team is given an
assignment for Kaizen from a host plant.
Day 2： Each team practically identifies where and what problems exist in the current system by measuring the base times of processes (manual work time, automated feeding time, walking time) and discusses and find a way to improve the workplace.
Day 3： Each team puts the Kaizen ideas came up on Day 2 into practice and measures the base times again to study how the kaizen activities are effective and improve the system. |
| |
| Day 4： Presentation of the results and Toyota's public plant tour |
| |
Each team member makes a presentation on the results of their group’s Kaizen ideas using analysis before and after, as well as the final results of their proposed Kaizen activities. Our consultants offer comments and suggestions to each group’s results.
Visit assembly and engine plants of Toyota Motor Kyushu, where Gemba Kaizen activities are continuously conducted. |
